The Role of Calcium Formate in Cement Calcium formate serves several key functions in cement:

Slowing cement setting and hardening: Calcium formate reacts with water and hydrated calcium sulfate in cement to produce calcium diformate and calcium sulfate. This reaction reduces the rate of hydration, thereby delaying the setting and hardening process of cement.

Calcium formate’s neutral pH, no deliquescence, and nutrient-friendly perks make it a game-changer for feed & cement applications—click to ask how it cuts your costs!
