Sodium Nitrite Powder

We are offering Sodium Nitrite Powder.

The Sodium Nitrite Powder can be availed from us, which has the Chemical Formula NaNO₂. The Sodium Nitrite 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 Sodium Nitrite Powder 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. Sodium Nitrite Powder is also used in the manufacturing of synthetic rubbers and rubber chemicals. Due to its anti-corrosion properties, Sodium Nitrite Powder 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, Sodium Nitrite Powder is a white to slight yellowish crystalline powder. Sodium Nitrite Powder is very soluble in water and is hygroscopic. Sodium Nitrite Powder is also slowly oxidized by oxygen in the air to sodium nitrate, NaNO₃. The compound is a strong reducing agent.
