| Description: | Sodium Nitrate We are engaged in formulation and supplying sodium nitrate which finds varied application in industries. Some of its uses are as follows : Used as a fertilizer extensively Used as raw material for the manufacture of gunpowder in the late nineteenth century Having antimicrobial properties it is used as a food preservative. Sodium nitrate is confused with the related compound, sodium nitrite which is harmful if present in food as there is development of nitrosamines when the food, primarily bacon, is cooked at high temperatures.
