About POTASSIUM NITRATE

Potassium Nitrate

We are a contract manufacturer of Potassium nitrate Industrial and Fertilizer grade. Presently we have 99.2% and above potassium nitrate having chlorine less than 0.2% and moisture less than 0.2%.

Common names - salt peter, potassium nitrate, nitrate of potash, NK Fertilizer 13-0-46 fertilizer or 13-0-45

Form White Crystalline free flowing powder

Agriculture - In India Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) is recognized as fertilizer for Drip and foliar application. It is gradually turning out to be one of the major K nutrient for straight application in High end cash crops.

We have potassium nitrate with most varied options such as with or without anticaking, low pH (5.5-6.5) for highly alkaline soil and quality with high pH for acidic soil.

In order to get the maximum availability, it is applied in the active root zone of the plant, where it passes through the soil, which is not in favourable pH range. Such hindrances have actually reduced efficacy of majority of products. For highly alkaline Indian soil, we have the best suitable low pH formula, which assure very high rate of uptake by the plants. It is therefore the best & most effective low pH-low Chlorine formula Potassium Nitrate (NK 13-0-45 fertilizer) in India, conforming FCO 1985 standards. This is cheapest available flowering booster in the market. For any flower or fruit crops it can really make a remarkable change in flowering and fruit dropping on proper application.

Industrial - Potassium nitrate has many other applications such as in fireworks, Glass, Ceramic, induction etc. We cater to a wide variety of industries depending upon the exact need. We have a variety of grades available for various needs in match stick making, fireworks. Moisture and chlorine are two basic parameter we look into for specific applications like fireworks.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

Potassium Nitrate is widely used beyond agriculture. In addition to being a potent fertilizer, it serves as a key ingredient in fireworks and explosives, a preservative in the food industry, and as a flux in glass manufacturing. Its adaptability makes it valuable for exporters, importers, and manufacturers looking to supply high-purity chemicals to varied sectors.

High Purity and Safety Standards

With a minimum purity of 99.0%, our Potassium Nitrate is manufactured to meet stringent safety and quality standards. Insoluble matter is limited to a maximum of 0.01%, while chloride and heavy metal levels are kept exceptionally low. Packaged securely, it ensures safe handling and long-lasting efficacy when stored in cool, dry conditions.
