Formate ions promote C3S dissolution kinetics, accelerating the rate of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel formation.<\/p><h3>2. Reduction of initial set time<\/h3><p>Calcium formate shortens the dormant period of cement hydration (the induction period), bringing forward the time at which significant strength development begins. This is critically important for production efficiency in precast plants.<\/p><p>The mechanism is fundamentally different from chloride acceleration: calcium chloride accelerates hydration by complexing aluminate phases (C3A), which is why it causes corrosion.
