Calcium Formate is a high-performance additive widely used in dry-mix mortar systems. Known for its excellent accelerating properties, it functions as an effective setting accelerator, early strength enhancer, and anti-freezing agent in construction materials like tile adhesives, concretes, and dry mix mortars.
Mikem is a reliable manufacturer in America with years of experience producing high-quality calcium formate. We focus on providing stable, effective products, ensuring fast setting times, improved workability, and enhanced strength development in cold-weather applications.
1. Accelerates Setting Time
Calcium Formate helps speed up the setting process of cement-based materials, improving project efficiency.
2. Enhances Early Strength
It boosts early strength development, allowing for faster handling and reduced curing time.
3. Improves Workability in Cold Weather
Ideal for low-temperature conditions, it maintains performance and reduces the risk of delayed setting in cold climates.
4. Reduces Efflorescence
Calcium formate minimizes the formation of salt deposits on concrete surfaces, improving aesthetics.
5. Increases Durability
Calcium formate contributes to the overall strength and long-term durability of construction materials.

Calcium formate is used to speed up the setting and hardening of concrete, reducing curing time and allowing faster construction progress, especially in cold weather.
It improves the workability and early strength of mortar mixes, enhancing bonding and reducing shrinkage cracks in bricklaying and plastering.
It acts as a setting regulator in gypsum plasters and boards, ensuring consistent hardening and improved strength.
Calcium formate enhances the early strength and cohesion of shotcrete and repair materials, making them ideal for structural repairs and tunneling applications.
In cold climates, it prevents freezing in fresh concrete, allowing construction to continue without strength loss or cracking.

Calcium formate is used in construction as a non-corrosive accelerator to speed up concrete/mortar setting, especially in cold weather. It enhances workability, early strength, and tile adhesion, reduces efflorescence, and stabilizes gypsum products. Ideal for shotcrete, repairs, and precast concrete, it’s a safe, efficient additive for durable, high-performance results.
Calcium formate helps tile adhesive work better and last longer. It makes the adhesive dry faster so tiles don’t slide, sticks them more firmly to walls or floors, prevents cracks, works well even in cold weather, and won’t damage metal surfaces.
