The properties of sodium nitrate enable it to be used in a great variety of applications, including the production of glass, metal treatment, ceramics, explosives and various chemical processes. SQM produces five grades of sodium nitrate for industrial applications, each one with a different purity grade:
Sodium Nitrate Refined (SSR-CS), solar grade – crystalline, Purity: 99,5% min
Potassium Nitrate (kNO3)
SQM produces potassium nitrate to be used in a variety of applications, including glass, frits, metal treatment and other chemical processes. It comes in two physical forms, crystallized and prilled, and in five grades of purity:
all grades all low in heavy metal
Potassium Nitrate Technical (NPC-T) – CRYSTALLINE, Purity: 99,3% min
Potassium Nitrate Technical (NPP-T) – Prilled, Purity: 99,3% min
Potassium Nitrate Refined (NPP-R) – Prilled, Purity: 99,8% min
Potassium Nitrate Refined (NPC-R) – crystalline, Purity: 99,8% min
