Sodium Nitrate
We are manufacturing Sodium Nitrate in Technical, Pure & LR Grade.
These Products are available in 50 kgs Bag/Drum.
Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula NaNO3. This salt is also known as Chile saltpeter or Peru saltpeter (due to the large deposits found in the Atacama Desert in these countries) to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate. Sodium nitrate is a white solid which is very soluble in water. It is a readily available source of the nitrate anion (NO3−), which is useful in several reactions carried out on industrial scales for the production of fertilizers, pyrotechnic sand smoke bombs, glass and pottery enamels, food preservatives (esp. meats), and solid rocket propellant. It has been mined extensively for these purposes.
