Potassium Formate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Potassium Methanoate
- HCOOK
Potassium formate is the potassium salt of formic acid, used as liquid brine or solid material for formulation and process applications. Malaysian industrial buyers should enquire against the form and specification required for their system.
Potassium formate liquid is the dominant traded form and is typically specified by concentration or density for the intended fluid system. Crystalline or granular solid material can also be requested when the buyer will prepare a defined solution or formulation.
Major applications include clear-brine drilling and completion fluids for oil and gas operations, along with heat-transfer and secondary-refrigerant fluids. Other industrial uses include selected hydraulic-fluid, lubricant, leather, textile and formulated acidifier applications.
Send the required form, concentration or density target, quantity and delivery location with the enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, route and timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Potassium Formate applications
Common questions about potassium formate
Is potassium formate available as liquid or solid material?
The commercial options covered are potassium formate brine and solid crystalline or granular material. State the required form, concentration or density target and quantity when requesting a quotation.
What should an oilfield potassium formate enquiry include?
Provide the drilling or completion-fluid application, required form, concentration or density target, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location so the requirement can be assessed for quotation.
Can potassium formate be used in heat-transfer fluids?
Potassium formate is used in heat-transfer and secondary-refrigerant formulations. The required fluid composition and operating specification should be supplied because the page does not assume one standard blend.
Is potassium formate the same as calcium formate?
No. They are different salts with different commercial forms and common applications, so a calcium formate requirement should not be ordered as potassium formate.
How is potassium formate price confirmed?
Price depends on the required liquid or solid form, specification, quantity and packing. Current availability, documentation and delivery details are confirmed with the quotation.
