Sodium Nitrate Extra Pure is a high-purity, white crystalline solid widely used as an oxidizing agent in laboratories and industries. It serves as a source of nitrate ions in chemical synthesis, analytical applications, and fertilizers. Its strong oxidizing properties make it valuable in explosives and pyrotechnic manufacturing. It is also used as a preservative in the food industry and in water treatment processes. Sodium Nitrate Extra Pure must be stored carefully away from heat and combustible materials and handled with appropriate safety measures due to its oxidizing nature.
