SOLVAY Sodium Nitrite is an excellent anti-corrosion agent that will not injure the skin of a normal person. It will however protect a wide variety of metals includ ing iron and steel. Among the current applications utilizing this prop erty of SOLVAY Sodium Nitrite are: prevention of cor rosion in air conditioning units and circulating water systems; as a corrosion inhibitor in water base paints, water soluble hydraulic fluids, metal cutting and grind ing compounds; as a rust preventive in household scour ing pads and radiator anti-freeze compounds. Quantities of 1/10 of 1% or less have given complete protection against corrosion!

A Few Uses of SOLVAY Sodium Nitrite
Physical a n d Chemical Properties: Molecular W e i g h t : 69:01.
Solubility: In water: 207, at - 1 2 ° C , 39'/, at - 2 6 ° F. (eutectic). 5 0 ^ at 42° C . 60'/, at 90° C. SOLVAY So dium Nitrite is slightly soluble in alcohols, very soluble in anhydrous ammonia. I t is endothermic — it has a negative heat of solution. Melting Point: 271° C , decomposes a t 320° C. Appearance: Crystalline, slight yel low cast, almost 100*7f will pass through a No. 20 screen. Reactions: Can be either a reducing or oxidizing agent. Provides NO^ for azo reaction. Quality: U.S.P. grade. Better than 99',4 NaNO^, very low in chlorides and metallic impurities. Toxicity: SOLVAY U.S.P. Sodium N i trite is not a poison as* defined in the manual of the M.C.A. It is toxic to humans when taken internally in quantity. I t is non-irritating to nor mal human skin.
