Sodium Nitrate (NaNO₃) – Product Overview
Sodium Nitrate is a versatile inorganic salt valued for its nitrogen content and oxidizing properties. In agriculture, it is used as a nitrogen fertilizer to support plant growth. In industrial applications, it plays a role in glass manufacturing, metal treatment, pyrotechnics, and chemical synthesis.
In food processing (where permitted and grade-compliant), Sodium Nitrate is used as a preservative and curing agent. Consistent quality and compliance are essential to ensure safe and effective use across applications.
Sodium Nitrate (NaNO₃) – Chemical & Physical Properties
Sodium Nitrate is a stable, crystalline compound with high water solubility. It acts as a strong oxidizer and should be stored away from combustible materials. The compound remains chemically stable under recommended storage conditions but decomposes at high temperatures.
Why Sodium Nitrate (NaNO₃) Matters for Industrial Use
Sodium Nitrate plays a critical role in applications requiring reliable nitrogen supply or controlled oxidation. In agriculture, it supports crop nutrition and yield. In industrial processes, purity and stability directly influence process safety and performance. For food and regulated uses, compliance and controlled specifications are essential for safety and quality assurance.

What is Sodium Nitrate used for?
SODIUM NITRATE (NaNO₃)is a white crystalline (an inorganic compound) that is mainly used for industrial applications. It is predominantly released as fertilizer in agriculture, giving plants the critical doses of nitrogen they need to grow. It is also used in explosives, food preservation, and solar power plants as a heat transfer agent. The compound is also an important material used in the glass and ceramics industry, as well as a chemical base to produce sodium nitrite together with many other sodium compounds.
