· JVASP-117983· CaNO2

Calcium nitrite (CaNO₂) is an inorganic ceramic compound commonly encountered as a white crystalline solid with ionic bonding character. It is primarily used in concrete admixtures as a corrosion inhibitor and accelerator, particularly in reinforced concrete structures exposed to chloride environments or requiring faster strength development. The material is valued in construction and civil infrastructure for its ability to passivate steel reinforcement and reduce frost damage, making it a cost-effective alternative to other corrosion-inhibiting additives in demanding environments.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
