What This Grade Is For
Potassium Nitrate KNO3 is supplied by Yiyuantong Chemical as an industrial inorganic raw material supplied to declared assay for processing and blending. Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula (KNO3), commonly known as saltpeter or earth saltpeter. It is a colorless or white crystal or powder, odorless but with a salty taste.
Key Benefits
- Supplied to a declared assay with the lot analysis issued before the container leaves
- Transport class, UN number and packing group confirmed in writing before booking
- Export packing selected for the material so it arrives free-flowing and intact
- Single point of contact for documents, so the broker is not chasing three parties at clearance
- Export packed and documented for container shipment, with lot analysis issued before departure
Problems It Solves
- Assay that drifts between suppliers, forcing a recalculation of every batch recipe
- Shipments held at the destination port because the dangerous goods paperwork does not match the cargo
- Caking and moisture pick-up in transit, so the material has to be broken up before it can be dosed
- No lot traceability when a downstream batch has to be investigated
Application Scenarios
- Industrial chemical synthesis and processing
- Blending into formulated products
- Metallurgical and mineral processing
- Laboratory and pilot scale supply
Who It Is For
- Chemical processors and blenders
- Industrial distributors holding stock for regional customers
- Manufacturers buying raw material on a repeat contract
Technical Features
- Supplied to declared assay with lot documentation
- Packed for bulk export in container loads
- Shipped with the dangerous goods documentation the class requires

Manufacturing Process
- Production
- Crystallisation or prilling
- Screening
- Lot testing and packing
Quality Control
- Every lot is tested in our own laboratory against the customer specification before release
- Third-party verification is available through SGS, which we have worked with on export lots
- Certificate of analysis issued with each shipment; HPLC or NMR data supplied on request
- Acetone countercurrent washing removes process residues before drying and milling
How It Compares
| Spot market purchase | A contracted supply keeps the assay and the packing constant, which is what stops recipe drift |
|---|---|
| Local distributor stock | Buying at source removes a margin and gives direct access to the production lot data |
Use Guide
- Check the certificate of analysis against your incoming specification before the material is released to production
- Store in the conditions stated on the safety data sheet and keep packaging sealed against moisture
