Sodium Nitrite Untreated
Sodium nitrite is utilised across multiple industries, notably as a gas-forming agent in explosive emulsion formulations.
Sodium nitrite is also used for the passivation of metals, in the production of diazo-dyes and other organic compounds used in the manufacture of organic dyes and inks, in the production of synthetic rubbers and rubber chemical matters. Thanks to anti- corrosion properties, sodium nitrite is used as a coolant in the thermal energy storage for large air conditioning systems and industrial refrigerator plants.
