USAGE AREAS
USAGE IN THE FORMULATION OF PLANT NUTRITION PRODUCTS
It is used as a calcium source in the formulation of liquid plant nutrition products with its water-soluble form of calcium oxide. In addition, the nitrate form in its content provides the nitrogen source in the formulation of plant nutrition products. Calcium nitrate has anhydrous and tetrahydrate forms. Both are used for the same purpose in the formulation of plant nutrition products. You can contact our company for detailed information and technical support regarding the use of calcium nitrate in the formulation of plant nutrition products and the selection of the appropriate calcium nitrate form.
AGRICULTURE
While calcium nitrate is used as a raw material in the formulation of plant nutrition products and other industrial applications, it can also be used directly as a fertilizer in agriculture. It is widely used in agricultural areas, especially in liquid and powder leaf and drip fertilizers, due to the nitrogen and high amount of calcium element it contains. It increases the resistance against diseases and pests, contributes to the development of the plant and extends the storage life of the fruits.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
It is used in the waste water treatment industry. The dissolution of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate is highly endothermic. Therefore, calcium nitrate tetrahydrate is used for renewable cold packs. It is used in concrete admixtures as a hardening accelerator.
