We produce sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate used as raw materials in a great number of industrial production processes and thermos-solar salts.
SQM entered the industrial chemical business over 30 years ago, producing and selling 100% natural nitrates. These are used as raw materials in a great number of industrial production processes.
From glass manufacturing, metal treatment, recycling to explosives for civil works and thermo-solar salts, which are a mixture of 60% sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and 40% potassium nitrate (KNO3). This mixture of salts has chemical properties that make it the ideal solution for storing thermal energy in solar power plants.
