Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate: Each calcium nitrate contains 11.5% nitrogen (nitrate) and 23.0% water-soluble calcium (CaO) on average, which is conducive to the absorption of nutrients by crops, enhances the stress resistance of fruits and vegetables, promotes early maturity, improves quality. Quality of fruits and vegetables.

Anhydrous calcium nitrate: easily soluble in water, can burn and explode when mixed with organic matter and sulfate.


Anhydrous calcium nitrate index:

Content: ≥ 94.0%

pH value: 5-7

Heavy metals: ≤ 0.001

Water insoluble matter: ≤ 0.2

Sulfate: ≤ 0.15


Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate index:

Purity% ≥99.0

Total nitrogen % ≥11.5

CaO% ≥ 23.0

Water insoluble % ≤0.10

PH value range 4.5-6.5

Lead% ≤0.002

Sulfate% ≤0.02

Iron% ≤0.001

Chloride% ≤0.005

Ammonia water% ≤0.01


Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate classification:

Agricultural fertilizer grade calcium nitrate: adopts the most advanced plant growth theory, and has the characteristics of fast calcium and nitrogen supplementation. Its unique combination of nitrate nitrogen and 100% water soluble calcium provides many properties and benefits not found in other fertilizers. It is rich in calcium ions, continuous application not only will not make the physical properties of the soil worse, but also can improve the physical properties of the soil.

Industrial grade calcium nitrate: mainly used as flocculant in latex and refrigerant, as cement antifreeze and phosphating agent in iron and steel industry. Also used in oil exploration wells, sewage treatment, etc. The light industry is used to make fireworks and incandescent lamp chimneys, the defense industry is used to make explosives, and the electronic instrument industry is used to paint negative electrodes. It is also a raw material for the manufacture of other nitrates.


Anhydrous Calcium Nitrate:

Coated cathodes in the electronics instrumentation industry.

It is the raw material for producing other nitrates.
