Acetates, Propionates, Formates & De-icers Supplier

Plater Group manufactures and distributes a comprehensive range of high-purity organic metal carboxylates—including acetates, formates, and propionates—from our advanced production facility in Glossop, Derbyshire. Serving diverse sectors across the UK and Ireland, we supply standard chemical grades, bespoke liquid solutions, and high-performance solid metal salts tailored to strict industrial, agricultural, and commercial specifications.

Advanced Non-Corrosive De-icers & Winter Maintenance

Acetates and formates play a vital role in modern winter maintenance due to their non-corrosive properties and exceptional ice-melting efficiency. Plater Group manufactures a specialist line of eco-friendly de-icers, including our flagship Icesafe range. Engineered to operate reliably in extreme sub-zero temperatures where conventional rock salt loses efficacy, our formate and acetate formulations provide superior freeze-point depression while protecting sensitive infrastructure.

These high-performance de-icing solutions are widely deployed across critical and environmentally sensitive applications, including airport runways, taxiways, bridges, multi-storey car parks, healthcare facilities, and pedestrian walkways where chloride-based salts cause unacceptable corrosion to steel, concrete, and surrounding vegetation.

Propionates for Mold Inhibition in Animal Feed & Bakery Products

Our propionate chemical range—including calcium propionate, sodium propionate, and pure propionic acid—is widely utilised as an effective antimicrobial agent and mold inhibitor. These organic acid salts play a crucial role in extending product shelf life and preserving nutritional value by preventing fungal growth in agricultural animal feeds, silages, and commercial bakery production, including bread and baked goods.
