Chemical raw material——Potassium nitrate
Description:
Production introduction:
Potassium nitrate is a kind of inorganic salt which is colorless transparent crystal or white powder. Potassium nitrate is easily soluble in water, soluble in liquid ammonia and glycerin, insoluble in absolute ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether. It can cause combustion or explosion in contact with reducing agent carbon, sulfur, titanium and other metal powders.
Production usage:
There are various usages of potassium nitrate in different industries. Potassium nitrate is used as analytical reagent and oxidizing agent and also the synthesis of potassium salt and preparation of explosives. In the field of agriculture, it mainly used as compound fertilizer for crops and flowers.
Introduction:
Potassium nitrate is a chlorine-free potassium compound fertilizer.
Selling point:
