Calcium nitrate anhydrous is a highly soluble inorganic salt used primarily as a fertilizer to supply nitrogen and calcium to plants, as well as in concrete admixtures to accelerate curing. It also serves in pyrotechnics, water treatment, and as a drying agent. This white, hygroscopic powder has a CAS number of 10124-37-5, a molecular formula of Ca(NO3)2, and a molecular weight of 164.09 g/mol. It must be stored at ambient conditions and handled with caution, as it carries a "Danger" signal word because it causes serious eye damage (H318); it is also an oxidizing solid that may intensify fire (H272) and is harmful if swallowed (H302). Molekula supplies calcium nitrate anhydrous from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
