About This Product
Sodium nitrate is used to teach nitrate salts, ionic compounds and solubility, and to show how an oxidiser is labelled and stored. Goggles, gloves and a lab coat are worn, only the quantity the procedure needs is taken, and dust is kept down. It is used only in approved demonstrations and never in pyrotechnic or fuel mixtures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why is sodium nitrate stored away from other materials?
Nitrate salts can act as oxidisers, so sodium nitrate is kept away from combustible materials, organic substances, reducing agents and heat.
