Is Calcium Formate the same substance as calcium diformate?

Yes. Calcium Formate and calcium diformate are names used for CAS 544-17-2. The supplied grade should still be matched by content, calcium level, moisture, pH, particle form and the intended construction or process application.

Is Calcium Formate supplied as a finished tile adhesive, mortar or concrete product?

No. Calcium Formate is an industrial powder used in selected dry-mix and cement-based formulations. The finished adhesive, mortar, screed or concrete product depends on the cement system, other additives, dosage and site conditions.

Which Calcium Formate data should be confirmed before a construction-formulation order?

Confirm content, calcium content, moisture, pH, water-insoluble matter, particle form, packaging and the intended formulation role. The batch COA, product TDS and SDS should correspond to the agreed industrial construction grade.

Calcium Formate CAS 544-17-2

Calcium Formate, CAS 544-17-2, is a white crystalline powder used as a cement-setting accelerator and process additive in dry-mix mortar, tile adhesive and concrete-related formulations. Also known as calcium diformate, it is supplied as an industrial raw material rather than a finished building product. Selection depends on the cement system, addition level, ambient temperature, compatibility with other additives and the target setting profile. Commercial lots should be matched by content, calcium content, moisture, pH, water-insoluble matter, particle size and packaging. Batch COA, TDS and SDS can be reviewed against the agreed construction grade. Sodium Gluconate is a related concrete-admixture raw material to compare where a set-retarding chelating additive is required instead of a calcium-formate accelerator.

Product Introduction

Calcium Formate (CAS 544-17-2) is a white crystalline industrial additive used principally in cement-based dry-mix mortar and concrete products. The listed material is a formulation raw material for set-control and construction-material processing; it is not a ready-mixed mortar, tile adhesive or finished concrete product.

Applications

Cement-based dry-mix mortars and tile-adhesive systems
Renders, plasters and self-leveling construction materials
Concrete and precast-product formulations requiring a calcium-formate component
Specialty industrial formulations where calcium formate identity is specified

Grade and Documentation

The quoted calcium formate grade is confirmed against the required construction-material route, including the agreed assay, moisture, chloride and particle-size controls. A batch COA, together with the applicable TDS and SDS, is available for the offered material. Packaging and quantity are selected for the agreed dry-mix or concrete production requirement.

For other calcium salt pages used around dry-mix mortar, concrete or industrial formulation systems, see Calcium Chloride Anhydrous and Calcium Nitrite.
