Use: Sodium Nitrate is a highly water soluble crystalline Sodium source for uses compatible with nitrates and lower (acidic) pH. All metallic nitrates are inorganic salts of a given metal cation and the nitrate anion. The nitrate anion is a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion composed of a single nitrogen atom ionically bound to three oxygen atoms (Formula: NO3) for a total formula weight of 62.05. Nitrate compounds are generally soluble in water. Nitrate materials are also oxidizing agents. When mixed with hydrocarbons, nitrate compounds can form a flammable mixture. Nitrates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds and certain catalyst and nanoscale (nanoparticles and nanopowders) materials. Sodium Nitrate is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. We also produce Sodium Nitrate Solution. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards.

Formulations/Preparations:
•association of american plant food control officials defines sodium nitrate...as follows: nitrate of soda (sodium nitrate) is chiefly the sodium salt of nitric acid. it shall contain not less than 16% nitrate nitrogen & 26% sodium. •purified grade contains at least 99% sodium nitrate. •grade: granular, sticks, powder; crude; 99.5%; double refined; recrystallized; cp; technical; reagent; diuretic; fcc. •chile saltpeter is marketed as both a "granular" product (mainly used as a fertilizer) and a coarse crystalline product. technical-grade synthetic sodium nitrate is a fine, crystalline white powder with a bulk density of about 1.36 kgl. it is sold as an untreated product and also as a free-flowing product containing up to 0.1% alkyl aryl sulfonate as an anticaking agent. •as of 1991 sodium nitrate was used with other components as an active ingredient to control mammals such as woodchucks, ground squirrels, and coyotes in open fields, non-crop areas, rangelands, lawns and golf courses. the three end-use products, two containing 65% a.i. sodium nitrate and one with 46.2% sodium nitrate, are all used as fumigant gas cartridges designed to be placed in burrows. the sodium nitrate supports the combustion of charcoal in the formulation of each product.
