Potassium Formate

Potassium Formate is the potassium salt of formic acid. This strongly hygroscopic white solid is an intermediate in the formate potash process to produce potassium. Potassium formate has also been studied as a potential environmentally friendly deicing salt for use on roads. It has also been suggested for use in a less corrosive liquid desiccant.
