Cesium Formate (CsHCOO) is a high-purity carboxylate salt engineered for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments. With 99.99% purity and a density of 2.2g/cm3, it outperforms tranditional bromide-based fluids in oil drilling and offers green chemistry benefits in catalysis. Its low toxicity and biodegradability make it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious industries.

Applications of Cesium Formate
- Oil & Gas Drilling: Serves as a high-density drilling fluid in HPHT wells (up to 20,000 psi), preventing blowouts while minimizing formation damage. Unlike bromide fluids, it’s non-toxic to marine life, ideal for offshore drilling.
- Organic Synthesis: Acts as a green catalyst in esterification and hydrogenation reactions, reducing waste by 40% compared to sulfuric acid catalysts.
- Fuel Cells: Enhances proton conductivity in alkaline fuel cell electrolytes, improving efficiency in backup power systems for data centers.
- Deicing: Used in aviation deicing fluids for airports in cold climates, where its low freezing point (-50℃）outperforms traditional glycols.
Why choose our CsHCOO?
- HPHT Performance: Tested to maintain stability at 250℃ and 25,000 psi.
- Eco-Certified: Biodegradable (90% in 28days ) and non-toxic.
- Custom Blends: We offer pre-mixed CsHCOO brines with addities (e.g., corrosion inhibitors) for direct use in drilling operations.
Cross-Product Connections
- Drilling Fluid Systems: Pair with Potassium Formate (KHCOO) to adjust density for mid-pressure wells.
- Catalyst Combinations: For multi-step synthesis, use with our Cesium Carbonate (Cs2CO3) as a dual catalyst system.
FAQ
- Q:How does CsHCOO reduce drilling costs?
A:Its high density eliminates the need for heavyweight additives, reducing transport and disposal costs by 15-20%.
- Q:Can it be reused in drilling operations?
A: Yes – our CsHCOO is recycleable via filtration, lowering per-well fluid costs.
