Applications Cesium nitrate is used as promoter in heterogeneous catalysts (e.g. methylmethacrylic acid production) and in pyrotechnics..
Safety and handling Like all nitrates, cesium nitrate is an oxidizer and should not be brought into contact with flammable substances and oxidizable powders (risk of fire hazards). Avoid contact with strong acids and high temperatures (generation of nitric oxide fumes)..
Packaging Polyethylene bottles or bags in drums
Cesium product range acetate
bicarbonate
bromide
