Calcium Nitrate Anhydrous
Calcium nitrate is widely used across multiple industries.
In the production of emulsion explosives, it increases the efficiency of using the emulsion when working with hard rocks (increases the explosion energy by up to 10%), and when working at low temperatures, it reduces the crystallization temperature of the emulsion.
In the construction industry, anhydrous calcium nitrate is used as an antifreeze additive in concrete, which accelerates hardening and increases strength characteristics. In the oil and gas industry, it is used as component fluids for well completion during planned and major repairs. In addition, it is a hardening accelerator and corrosion inhibitor in cement slurries.
