Features:
The transparent monoclinic crystal is very soluble in water, ethanol, liquid ammonia and ethyl alcohol. It is stable in 15℃-20℃ temperature and has a relative density of 1.461. It will generate magnesium nitrate above its melting point of 95°C. It dissolves in 300°C temperature and will decompose to magnesium oxide and nitric oxide gas above 400°C.
Applications:
It can be used as the dehydrant of concentrated nitric acid, catalyst , fogging agent, explosive as well as the raw material of nitrate salt and nitrates.
Packaging:
Calcium nitrate should be packed in 25kg or 1000kg plastic bag. Customized bags are available.
