Sodium Nitrate for explosive industry

1.Basic properties:

1)Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula NaNO3.

Sodium nitrate is used as an ingredient; in fertilizers, pyrotechnics, as an ingredient in smoke bombs, as a food preservative, and as a solid rocket propellant, as well as in glass and pottery enamels. The compound has been mined extensively for those purposes.

2)Molecular formula: NaNO3
Formula weight: 84.99

Packing: In 25/50kg net PP/PE bag or the demanding of customer
class 5.1,UN 1498
HS : 28342990

2.Properties and Applications:

1)Properties:White fine crystal. Some are light gray or buff. The relative molecular weight is 84.99 and density is 2.257. It's easy to be deliquescence and to dissolve in water and liquid ammonia, but only a little can dissolve in ethanol and glycerin. The melting point is 271°C. And decomposition temperature is 380°C. Its decomposition products are sodium nitrite and oxygen. If heated to higher temperature, it will be decomposed into the mixed gas of oxygen, azote and oxynitride. It has the strong oxidizing property and can cause the inflammation and explore while mixed with organics, sulfur and sulfite etc.

2)Applications:It is the important chemical material and widely used in industries including glass, dye, detonator, metallurgy, machinery and vitreous enamel etc.

3.Specification:

4.Packing: In 25/50kg net PP/PE bag or the demanding of customer.

5.Nitoce:

1.Stored in the dry and ventilation place and prevent rain and sunlight exposure,rained,heated.

2.Avoid mixing with organic compound or sulphur or reducer during storage and transportation in case of explosion.

3.Handle with care against friction and bounce while handing and pile.

4.The fire caused by sodium nitrate can be put out by using water,sand and carbon dioxide.
