Product Description
Sodium nitrite, with the chemical formula NaNO2, is a salt of nitrous acid. NaNO2 is typically produced by the reaction of sodium nitrate with nitrous acid or by the reduction of sodium nitrate with a suitable reducing agent, which may be sodium sulfide or iron. In many industries, sodium nitrite is used for various purposes. For instance, when NaNO2 is combined with food, it ceases reactions with bacteria, including Clostridium botulinum, which leads to botulism. Other uses of sodium nitrite include making dyes, pharmaceuticals, and rubber chemicals. Moreover, sodium nitrite is used for the production of nitrous oxide, a gaseous anesthetic. In the metallurgical industry, NaNO2 is used in the cleaning and inhibition of metal surfaces.

Europe Sodium Nitrite Price
The European sodium nitrite market witnessed a decline that consecutively favored low prices at the end of 2023. The fall in demand from the food and beverages industries had a significant effect on the market. Manufacturing in the Eurozone shrank with fewer new orders. In December, the prices continued to drop since the demand remained low. Downstream industries showed no interest, hence sending negative market signals. Besides, the price of upstream raw materials fell, and there was persistent factory gate deflation. Destocking during the year-end holidays led to reduced industrial activity, which made several manufacturers slow down or close temporarily.
