Calcium Nitrate
We are manufacturing Calcium Nitrate in Technical, Pure & LR Grade.
These Products are available in 50 kgs Bag/Drum.
Calcium nitrate, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ca (NO3)2. This colourless salt absorbs moisture from the air and is commonly found as a Tetrahydrate. It is mainly used as a component in fertilizers but has other applications. Nitro calcite is the name for a mineral which is a hydrated calcium nitrate that forms as an efflorescence here manure contacts concrete or limestone in a dry environment as in stables or caverns.
