About Sodium Nitrate
Sodium nitrate is a crystalline salt used to make fertilizers and gunpowder. It is found in the Earths crust in mineral deposits called caliche ore. Chile and Peru are the global leaders in the production of sodium nitrate; that is why it is also known as Chile or Peru saltpeter.
Sodium nitrate is a strong oxidizer. It is an essential plant nutrient and helps improve the nutrient content of soil, thereby increasing crop yield. It is used for a wide range of applications, including food preservation, metal treatment, nitric acid production, fireworks, industrial explosives, rocket propellants, and ceramics and glass. In the agricultural segment, sodium nitrate is used to make water-soluble fertilizers. In the pharmaceutical segment, it is used in the treatment of tooth sensitivity.
