Product Specifications

Sodium Nitrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaNO₃ and CAS Number 7631-99-4. It is typically supplied as a white, odourless crystalline powder or granular solid and is highly soluble in water. It is also known as Chile saltpetre and is commonly used as a source of sodium and nitrate ions in chemical reactions and aqueous solutions.

Sodium Nitrate is valued for its solubility and chemical properties in laboratory procedures and inorganic chemical applications. Common laboratory applications include the preparation of nitrate-containing solutions, analytical chemistry procedures, qualitative and quantitative testing, inorganic synthesis, and research involving nitrate compounds. It is also used in specialised industrial applications, including glass manufacturing, heat-transfer formulations, and chemical processing.

Its water solubility and stable chemical properties make Sodium Nitrate useful in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, environmental research, and general laboratory applications. The appropriate grade and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Sodium Nitrate is an oxidising substance that may intensify fire when it comes into contact with combustible materials. Although it is generally stable under normal storage conditions, it may support combustion when heated or contaminated with incompatible substances. Avoid contact with combustible materials, reducing agents, and strong acids. Prevent inhalation of dust and direct contact with the eyes and skin. Handle it in a well-ventilated area using appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, protective gloves, and suitable protective clothing. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, combustible substances, and incompatible chemicals. Follow the supplier's safety data sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
