Description

Aluminium Diformate is an inorganic salt of aluminum and formic acid, known for its role as an effective acidifier and preservative. This compound is valued in industrial and agricultural applications for its ability to lower pH and exhibit antimicrobial properties. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the animal feed, food processing, and chemical synthesis sectors seeking a stable and efficient source of acidity.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: Used as an acidifier in poultry and swine feed to promote gut health, improve nutrient absorption, and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
• Food Preservation: Acts as a preservative and pH control agent in certain food processing applications.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor or catalyst in specific organic synthesis and industrial chemical processes.
• Leather Tanning: Employed in the tanning industry as a masking agent and for pH adjustment during processing.
• Water Treatment: Used in some water treatment formulations for coagulation and pH correction.
• Antimicrobial Agent: Provides antimicrobial properties in various non-food industrial applications and material preservation.

Quality Control

Our Aluminium Diformate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, assay, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
