Sourcing Calcium Nitrate? ChemicalDekho connects you with major domestic producers like GSFC and importers of Yara material. Secure high-solubility nutrients and industrial accelerators.
Calcium Nitrate (CAS 10124-37-5) is a unique dual-purpose chemical. In agriculture, it is the primary source of water-soluble Calcium and Nitrate-Nitrogen, essential for preventing fruit rot (blossom end rot) in tomatoes and peppers. Industrially, it is a key 'Setting Accelerator' for concrete in cold weather. It also prevents the formation of Hydrogen Sulfide (rotten egg smell) in sewage systems.

May intensify fire; oxidizer. Harmful if swallowed. Causes serious eye irritation. Not combustible but enhances burning of other materials.
It accelerates the hydration of cement, allowing concrete to set faster. This is vital for construction in winter (antifreeze effect) and for high-speed precast manufacturing.
Yes, it provides 15.5% Nitrogen in the Nitrate form, which plants can absorb instantly. Unlike Urea, it doesn't need soil microbes to break it down first.
It provides an oxygen source for bacteria in the sewage. Instead of producing smelly H2S (anaerobic), the bacteria consume the nitrate (anoxic), which is odorless.
Extremely. If left open, the granules will absorb moisture from the air and turn into a puddle of liquid. Always keep bags sealed.
