Calcium Nitrite
Whatsapp Order
Calcium Nitrite is an inorganic compound commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder or granules. It serves primarily as a corrosion inhibitor in reinforced concrete structures, protecting steel reinforcement from rust and prolonging structural lifespan. Calcium nitrite is also used in various industrial processes as an oxidizing agent and preservative. Due to its high solubility in water and strong oxidizing properties, it effectively prevents chloride-induced corrosion and improves concrete durability.
