SODIUM NITRATE
Sodium nitrate acts as a corrosion inhibitor in the steel coating process, creating a surface magnetite layer. This is a more protective coating that safeguards the steel from rust and other types of corrosion. This compound also serves as a lubricant that helps reduce friction and abrasion between two surfaces.
