Formate Technical Manual, Part A: Chemical and Physical Properties
Section A1 Chemistry

Formate brines are the aqueous solutions of the alkali metal salts of formic acid. These salts are readily soluble in water, yielding high-density brines with low crystallisation temperatures. This section of the manual describes the basic chemical properties of sodium, potassium and cesium formate brines and their blends. This includes properties such as molecular formula, molecular weight, solubility, solution density, anti-oxidant properties and water-structuring properties. The outcome of a crystal structure study conducted by the Department of Chemistry, Warwick University, UK is also presented.
