Calcium Nitrite CP

Calcium nitrite CP is supplied for industrial applications including construction chemicals and corrosion control systems.

Calcium Nitrite CP (Chemically Pure/Concrete Product) is a white, odorless, highly water-soluble inorganic compound primarily used as a corrosion inhibitor for steel reinforcement in concrete and as an antifreeze admixture. It protects metal from chloride-induced corrosion, extends structural life, and acts as an accelerator, allowing concrete placement at temperatures down. 
Key Details for Calcium Nitrite CP: 
Functions: Corrosion inhibitor, cement hydration accelerator, antifreeze agent.
Mechanism: Inhibits steel corrosion by forming a protective layer and acts as an oxidizer.
Safety: Strong oxidizer. May cause methemoglobinemia if ingested; requires proper PPE (gloves, goggles). 

Applications: 
Construction: Protects reinforced concrete from salt (chloride) damage.
Industrial: Used in heat transfer fluids, in lubricating greases, and as an agent for heavy oil. 

It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from combustibles and reducing agents.
