Calcium nitrate anhydrous
Ca(NO₃)₂
Ca(NO₃)₂
Due to its chemical properties calcium nitrate has widespread application in various industries. Calcium compounds are main components of cement-based construction materials. Calcium nitrate-based concrete additives increase concrete curing speed, improve strength characteristics and slow down corrosion processes in reinforcing steel.
In oil and gas industry, calcium nitrate, owing to its water solubility and anti-corrosion properties, is used as a component of well killing fluids and in scheduled servicing and work-over of wells.
It is also widely used is chemical industry, among other things, as a coagulating agent in manufacturing of rubber and plastics.
