Sodium Nitrite

Whatsapp Order

Sodium Nitrite is an inorganic white to slightly yellowish crystalline powder with the chemical formula NaNO₂. This versatile chemical serves as a powerful reducing agent, corrosion inhibitor, and food preservative, widely used in meat curing, pharmaceutical synthesis, and industrial applications. Its oxidative properties make it valuable for dye manufacturing and rubber processing while requiring careful handling due to its toxicity.
