Description

Barium Nitrite CAS NO 115216-77-8 is an inorganic salt primarily used as a specialized reagent and intermediate in chemical synthesis and manufacturing processes. Its unique properties make it valuable for applications requiring controlled nitrite ion release or barium cation sources. This compound is essential for suppliers and manufacturers in sectors such as pyrotechnics, specialty chemical production, and corrosion inhibition. We provide high-purity grades to meet the stringent requirements of industrial and research applications.

Application

• Pyrotechnics and Explosives Manufacturing: Acts as a key oxidizer and colorant agent in green-burning fireworks and specialty flares.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a nitrosating agent or a source of nitrite ions in organic and inorganic synthesis reactions.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in specialized formulations for protecting ferrous metals in closed-loop systems.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed as an analytical standard and reagent in research and quality control laboratories.
• Glass and Ceramics Industry: Functions as a fining agent and color modifier in the production of specialty glasses and ceramic glazes.
• Heat Treatment Salts: A component in certain molten salt baths for the case hardening and heat treatment of steel.

Quality Control

Our Barium Nitrite is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, reducing agents, and combustible substances. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize moisture uptake.
