Potassium Nitrate

A naturally occurring mineral source of nitrogen
Used in fertilizers, rocket propellants and fireworks.
Used as a food additive. It is also commonly
Used in the heat treatment of metals as a solvent in the post-wash.
The oxidizing, water solubility and low cost make it an ideal short-term rust inhibitor
