Nitrate de Calcium

Calcium Nitrate appears as a white crystalline powder or granules, odorless and highly hygroscopic. It is highly soluble in water, making it easily absorbable by plants. This compound is a crucial source of calcium and nitrogen, widely used in agriculture, construction, and chemical industries. While non-combustible, it can act as an oxidizing agent, enhancing the combustion of other substances in the presence of organic materials.

Applications:

Agriculture & Fertilization:

• Water-soluble fertilizer used in fertigation and hydroponic systems.
• Enhances plant resistance to diseases and strengthens cell structure through calcium enrichment.
• Promotes fruit and vegetable growth, especially in tomatoes, apples, and citrus fruits.

Chemical & Construction Industry:

• Used in the production of quick-setting concrete, reducing cement hardening time.
• A component in explosive formulations as an oxidizing agent.
• Applied as a cooling agent in industrial applications.

Water Treatment & Pollution Control:

• Prevents hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) formation in wastewater treatment.
• Used in odor control solutions for industrial facilities.

Food Industry (Food Grade):

• Approved food additive (E509), used as a stabilizer and firming agent in dairy products and cheese production.
