Potassium formate (CHO2K) is the potassium salt of formic acid. With a molar mass of 84.12 g/mol, this highly water‑soluble product has many industrial applications, including heat transfer, de-icing, and as a brine for use in oilfield applications such as drilling and completion operations. Potassium formate also can be used as reduce agent for the production of printing and dyeing, and as intermediate in the manufacturing of potassium diformate.
Potassium formate is a concentrated industry with some manufacturers dominating the market. The manufacturers can be categorized as three types: raw material formic acid suppliers (such as Perstorp and BASF), drilling fluid manufactures (such as M-I Swaco) and deicing agent manufactures (such as Kemira, NASi and Esseco).
A key variable in the performance of potassium formate producers is raw material costs, specifically the speed at which any increase can be passed through to customers. The materials of potassium formate include formic acid and potassium hydroxide, both of which are bulk chemical raw materials. The price of formic acid and potassium hydroxide injects short-term volatility into margins and stock prices. From 2011 to 2015, the decreasing of formic acid price lowered the production cost of potassium formate, which also contributes to the price decrease of potassium formate. Also the price raise of formic acid in 2016 lifted the price of potassium formate, but we tend to believe the price for long term would trend down.
