• Description: Bismuth subnitrate, also referred to as bismuth oxynitrate or bismuthyl nitrate, is a highly water-soluble crystalline compound that has been used as a treatment for duodenal ulcers and anti-diarrheic agent. The use of bismuth substrate as an active ingredient in over-the-counter antacids is approved by the FDA. Bismuth Subnitrate is a basic salt that contains the equivalent of not less than 79.0 percent of bismuth trioxide (Bi2O3),calculated on the dried basis.It is both odorless and tasteless, and is used in bleaching and freckle creams, and hair dyes. Bismuth subnitrate has been used to induce metallothionein in heart tissue and kidneys and to attenuate the toxicity of Adriamycin and cisplatin compounds, respectively.
• Uses: manufacture of bismuth fluxes for enamels; in cosmetics. It is used pharmaceutically in wound dressing, ointment component and as an antiacid. In cosmetics it is used as a cosmetic white pigment. Used in Ceramic glazes and enamel fluxes. Bismuth subnitrate (BiNO3) is used in the cosmetics industry and to make ceramic and enamel glazes.
