Nrog rau kev siv tas mus li thiab kev txhawb nqa ntawm cov khoom siv potassium formate nyob rau hauv high-end cheeb tsam xws li high-ceev txuas hniav thiab tshav dav hlau runways rau deicing thiab daus melting, thiaj li yuav txo tau cov corrosion ntawm chlorine ntawm pavement pob zeb. Raws li qhov kev thov ntawm cov neeg siv khoom txawv teb chaws, peb lub tuam txhab tau hloov kho cov khoom siv potassium formate. Cov ntsiab lus ntawm chloride ions nyob rau hauv cov khoom hloov pauv potassium formate yog txo kom qis dua 50 ppm. Qhov no daws cov teeb meem uas muaj plagued kev lag luam rau ntau xyoo, xws li corrosion ntawm sodium chloride, magnesium chloride thiab lwm yam daus melting ntsev ntawm pob zeb, thiab cov teeb meem muaj zog acetic acid tsis hnov tsw tom qab daus melting xws li acetate.
