Industrial grade Potassium nitrate

Molecular formula: KNO₃
Molecular weight: 101.10
Performance: It is colorless rhomboidal crystal or powder particle. Relative density is 2.1109; melting point is 333℃. It resolves and emits oxygen at 400℃ and become potassium nitrite. It is soluble in water(0℃, 13.3g/100gH₂O;30℃, 45.8g/100H₂O;100℃, 246.0g/100gH₂O), insoluble in alcohol, soluble in liquid ammonia and glycerol.
Industrial use: it is raw material for the production of black powder, ignition harness and fireworks; it is used as salt bath in mechanical heat treatment; used to produce color ceramic glaze, glass refining agent, lens, optical glass, kinescope glass and etc. It is also be used to produce Penicilline potassium salt, as color former and preservative for meat product.
Executive Standard : national standard GB/T 1918-2011.
