Calcium Nitrite is an inorganic nitrite salt classified as an industrial chemical, commonly supplied as an aqueous solution or solid form for controlled industrial and process applications. Composed of calcium cations and nitrite anions (CAS 13780-06-8), it is utilized in areas such as chemical processing, corrosion inhibition systems, construction-related formulations, and other regulated applications where nitrite functionality is required. Industrial supply typically includes customized specifications, along with standard documentation such as MSDS, TDS, COA, supporting compliant bulk availability for industrial use.

Product Description
Physicochemical properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| IUPAC Name | Calcium nitrite |
| CAS Number | 13780-06-8 |
| Molecular Formula | Ca(NO₂)₂ or CaN₂O₄ |
| Molecular Weight | 132.09 g/mol (or 132.089 g/mol, depending on the source) |
| Appearance | Pure product is colorless to pale yellow hexagonal crystals, easily deliquescent |
| Density | 2.23 g/cm³ |
| Melting Point | 390 °C (or 81-85°C for a different form or under different conditions, but 390 °C is more commonly reported) |
| Boiling Point | Not explicitly provided in most sources (some indicate N/A or not applicable due to decomposition before boiling) |
| Solubility | Soluble in water; slowly soluble in alcohol |
| Stability | Stable, but easily deliquescent. Long-term storage or damaged inner bags may lead to caking, which does not affect the quality of use |
Application Areas
Reinforced concrete engineering: used as a cement hardening accelerator, antifreeze and rust inhibitor, can extend the service life of concrete buildings by 15-20 years
Pharmaceutical industry, organic synthesis, lubricant corrosion inhibitors
Heavy oil washing, lubricating oil emulsification
Storage conditions
Environmental requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated dedicated warehouse, away from sources of fire and heat. The recommended temperature for the warehouse should not exceed 30 ℃, and the relative humidity should be controlled below 80%
Isolation measures: Separate from reducing agents, organic compounds, acids, active metal powders, etc. to avoid mixing and causing combustion or explosion. Packaging should be sealed to prevent moisture absorption or contact with air.
Special precautions: Long term storage may cause clumping, but it usually does not affect the quality of use. During transportation, it is necessary to prevent rain and sun exposure to avoid packaging damage
Safety precautions
Operation protection: Wear dust masks, chemical safety goggles, rubber gloves, and anti-virus clothing. The operating area should be kept ventilated to avoid dust accumulation.
Leakage treatment: Small leaks can be diluted with water, while large leaks need to be collected and disposed of after being adsorbed by sand.
Firefighting measures: Use misty water or sandy soil to extinguish a fire, and prohibit the use of flammable fire extinguishing agents
