Sodium Nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula NaNO₃. This alkali metal nitrate salt is also known as Chile saltpeter to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate. Sodium Nitrate (NaNO₃), a versatile compound valued for its effectiveness in fertilizers, food preservation, and chemical synthesis. Known for its purity and reliable performance, our Sodium Nitrate meets stringent quality standards, making it an ideal choice for industries that require consistent and efficient results. It is an inorganic sodium salt and an inorganic nitrate salt. Sodium nitrate is a white, crystalline solid that is noncombustible but can accelerate the burning of combustible materials. It can explode if exposed to heat or fire for a long time.
Industrial applications of Sodium Nitrate :
Fertilizers: Sodium nitrate is a common fertilizer because it's a good source of nitrogen, is soluble in water, and is inexpensive.
Explosives: Sodium nitrate is a strong oxidizer and is used in explosives, smoke bombs, and rocket propellants. It can also be used to make gunpowder. It is used in solid propellants, explosives and for many other uses.
