Sodium Nitrite
We are manufacturing Sodium Nitrite in Technical, Pure & LR Grade.
These Products are available in 50 kgs Bag/Drum.
Sodium nitrite is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaNO2. It is a white to slightly yellowish crystalline powder that is very soluble in water and is hygroscopic. It is a useful precursor to a variety of organic compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, and pesticides, but it is probably best known as a food additive to prevent botulism.
The main use of sodium nitrite is for the industrial production of organ nitrogen compounds. It is a reagent for conversion of amines into diazo compounds, which are key precursors to many dyes, such as diazo dyes. Nitro so are produced from nitrites. These are used in the rubber industry.
