Sodium formate is a high-purity, dry crystalline organic salt used to formulate brine used in drilling, workover and completion operations which require densities ranging from 8.4 to 11.0 lb/gal. Sodium formate is a white crystalline powder with water absorbing performance and slight formic acid odor. It is soluble in water and glycerol, slightly soluble in ethanol.
