FAQ's of Sodium Nitrate:

Q: How should Sodium Nitrate be stored to maintain its quality and safety?

A: Sodium Nitrate should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, separately from combustible substances, reducing agents, and strong acids. Keeping it away from moisture and incompatible materials will help maintain its stability and ensure a shelf life of up to two years.

Q: What are the main uses of Sodium Nitrate in different industries?

A: Sodium Nitrate is widely used as a fertilizer in agriculture, an oxidizing agent in chemical processes, a preservative in the food industry, and a component in glass manufacturing and explosives. It is also commonly utilized as a laboratory reagent.

Q: When should Sodium Nitrate be handled with particular caution?

A: Extra caution is needed when handling Sodium Nitrate near heat sources, flames, or combustible materials, as it is classified as an oxidizer and may intensify fire. Personal protective equipment should be used to prevent ingestion and contact.

Q: Where does Sodium Nitrate find application in the food industry?

A: In the food industry, Sodium Nitrate is employed primarily as a preservative for cured meats and certain dairy products, helping to inhibit bacterial growth and prolong shelf life. Only food-grade Sodium Nitrate meeting regulatory standards should be used for such applications.

Q: What benefits does Sodium Nitrate provide as a fertilizer?

A: Sodium Nitrate supplies essential nitrogen in a form readily absorbed by plants, promoting healthy growth and improved crop yield. Its high solubility ensures quick action when applied to soil, making it a valuable fertilizer in agriculture.

Q: How is Sodium Nitrate typically packaged and transported?

A: Sodium Nitrate is commonly packed in 25 kg bags or according to customer requirements, and is classified under UN Number 1498 as a Hazard Class 5.1 oxidizer. Transportation adheres to strict regulations to ensure safe handling and to prevent incidents.
