Key Advantages
Environmental Profile: Readily biodegradable and non-persistent in soil/water
Safety: Low toxicity compared to traditional chlorides
Performance: Superior thermal stability and lubricating properties in high-temperature/high-pressure environments
Compatibility: Minimal formation damage and excellent additive compatibility
Primary Industrial Applications
1. Oil & Gas Drilling/Completion Fluids
High-density, low-viscosity brine for wellbore stability and pressure control
Prevents shale swelling and clay hydration in reactive formations
Non-corrosive to drilling equipment, reducing maintenance costs
2. Deicing & Anti-icing
Effective airport runway and roadway deicer (operating down to -50°C)
Non-toxic and biodegradable, avoiding groundwater contamination
Less corrosive than acetate-based alternatives
3. Heat Transfer Fluids
Secondary coolant in refrigeration and industrial cooling systems
Excellent thermal stability and heat exchange efficiency
4. Leather Processing
Camouflage acid in chrome tanning to regulate pH and improve leather quality
5. Textile & Dyeing
Reducing agent for color fixation and restoration
6. Construction
Antifreeze agent for winter concrete work
Early-strength accelerator for cement slurries
7. Other Uses
Structural inhibitor in carbon black production
Foliar fertilizer component in agriculture
Electroplating additive
