Potassium formate, a chemical compound with the formula HCOOK, is the potassium salt of formic acid. It presents as a hygroscopic, odorless white solid, readily absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. This characteristic makes it crucial to store potassium formate in airtight containers to prevent deliquescence. Structurally, it comprises a potassium cation (K+) bonded to a formate anion (HCOO-). The compound's solubility in water is high, forming aqueous solutions that exhibit a neutral pH. Potassium formate finds applications in various industries, including as a heat transfer fluid, de-icing agent, and in the production of potassium metal. Its chemical properties, particularly its hygroscopic nature and solubility, contribute to its diverse utility. As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL's Potassium formate.
Preservative and Antimicrobial Agent: Potassium formate's antimicrobial properties allow it to be used as a food preservative, helping to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi in certain food products. This application is particularly useful in processed foods where shelf life and food safety are critical.

The highest levels of potassium and sodium ions were recorded in runoff from the Gdansk airport in 'this may have been due to the large quantities of de-icing agents (sodium and potassium formate) used during the winter. At the other airports, the mean concentrations of these analytes were very much lower. The mean concentrations of calcium ions determined in the runoff from the Gdansk airport were lower than those from American airports.

Generally, the potassium ion required for drilling fluids is provided with potassium chloride. In some cases, other sources of potassium, such as potassium sulfate, potassium hydroxide, potassium acetate, potassium carbonate, or potassium nitrate are used. Potassium formate which is more expensive than KCl is used more than other salts in drilling fluid to shale inhibition and as completion fluids (Bingren et al. ). Typically, these materials are introduced and tested on a laboratory scale and have not been empirically used in drilling operations. For example, potassium nitrate described as a potassium source for environmental purposes (Zhou ). Also, potassium sulfate purposed by some companies for replacing KCl as an industrial source of potassium (Imco/Haliburton, ), which has some environmental effects and limitations studied by Darlane (Darlene, Jeff, and Anthony ). Potassium chloride is an affordable and relatively inexpensive industrial material. Moreover, the use of potassium chloride in drilling caused chloride pollution and groundwater salinization. Therefore it has been banned by environmental protection organizations. The high concentration of chloride ions in drilling wastes can cause surface water and soil contamination, with the potential to inhibit the growth of plants (Dow, Florence, and Babu ). In a study, removal of salinity and exchangeable ions (such as chloride) from soil has increased the growth of plants (Miller, Pesaran, and Honarvar ). In addition to the difficulty involved in treating waste containing chloride, potassium chloride drilling fluid also causes problems such as excessive torque and drag, and the waste of time in the drill string trip (Huadi, Aldea, and MacKereth et al. ). For example, environmental regulation of The Florida Department of Environmental Protection states: 'Disposal and release of drilling waste containing dissolved solids more than 10,000 ppm or chloride ion concentration more than ppm in surface and underground environments are prohibited'.
