Overview
In emulsion and ANFO-type explosives, sodium nitrate is added alongside ammonium nitrate as an oxidiser and to lower the crystallisation point. In glass it acts as a fining agent that removes bubbles.
It is also a nitrogen fertiliser, a component of heat-transfer salt baths for steel, and the cure in some meat products (food grade). It is supplied as white crystals or prills.
Applications
- 1Mining explosives and emulsions
- 2Glass and enamel fining
- 3Nitrogen fertiliser
- 4Heat-treatment salt baths
- 5Meat curing (food grade)
