Overview
Potassium Nitrate exporter and supplier in various packing size.
Potassium Nitrite is white to gray crystalline solid. Water soluble. Noncombustible, but accelerates the burning of combustible materials. If large quantities are involved in fire or the combustible material is finely divided an explosion may result. May explode under prolonged exposure to heat or fire. Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced in fires. Used in solid propellants, explosives, fertilizers.

Reactivity Alerts
Strong Oxidizing Agent
Air & Water Reactions
Soluble in water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: May produce toxic nitrogen oxides upon decomposition.
Behavior in Fire: Strong oxidizer which may react explosively when mixed with reducing agents. Mixture may detonate by heat or shock. Increases the flammability of any combustible material. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Exposure can cause mild irritation of eyes, nose and throat. (USCG, 1999).
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

| Hazardous Combustion Products | Potassium oxides Nitrogen oxides (NOx) |
| Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters | As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. |
| Further Information | Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. |
| Small Spillage | Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. |
| Personal Protection | Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. |
| Enviromental Precaution | Avoid release to the environment. See Section 12 for additional ecological information. |
| Methods and materials for containment and cleaning |
Keep away from clothing and other combustible materials. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Avoid dust formation. |
| Handling | Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Keep away from clothing and other combustible materials. Avoid dust formation. |
| Storage | Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Do not store near combustible materials. |
| Hygiene measures | Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance. |
| Engineering Control | Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. |
| Personal Protection |
Eye/face Protection Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin and body protection Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure. Respiratory Protection Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. |
