Sodium Nitrate Powder

We are offering Sodium Nitrate Powder. Sodium Nitrate Powder is the chemical compound with the formula NaNO₃, which is used in high-strength glass manufacturing, fertilizers, flux, pyrotechnics, refrigerant, dynamite and explosives, cutting oils, and in solid rocket propellants, manufacturing of sodium salts and nitrates. It also finds use in a few pharmaceuticals besides making potassium nitrate and in the preservation of meats in addition to being used as color fixative in cured meats and poultry. However, the health issues arising out of its usage in the meat industry are the cause of major concerns. Therefore, the usage of Sodium Nitrate Powder is now restricted and on decline owing to the findings being reported by the International Health Organization.
Major Applications Of Sodium Nitrate Powder :
Sodium Nitrate Powder is used in many industrial applications including the manufacturing of diazo dyes, and other organic compounds used in the manufacture of organic pigments for the paint, dye and printing ink industries. In metal processing it is used for phosphatizing and detinning applications. As a molten salt bath it is used in heat treating of metal parts in the automotive and aircraft industries and as a high temperature heat transfer medium. It is also used in the manufacturing of synthetic rubbers and rubber chemicals. Due to its anti-corrosion properties, Sodium Nitrite solution is also used as a heat transfer fluid in Thermal Energy Storage units for large air-conditioning or process cooling applications.

Traditionally, it had been used as a color fixative and preservative in meats and fish. Due to health safety concerns, its use in the organized food industry is on decline, and stringent safety limits have been imposed in North America and Western Europe.

In pure form, it is a white to slight yellowish crystalline powder. It is very soluble in water and is hygroscopic. It is also slowly oxidized by oxygen in the air to Sodium Nitrate Powder, NaNO₃. The compound is a strong reducing agent.
