Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
explosive  A substance capable of undergoing rapid and highly exothermic decomposition.
Biological Role:
nitrification inhibitor  Any inhibitor added to nitrogen fertilizers which can reduce the rate at which ammonium is converted to nitrate. Under appropriate conditions, this can help reduce nitrogen losses through denitrification and leaching.
Applications:
fertilizer  A fertilizer is any substance that is added to soil or water to assist the growth of plants.
flame retardant  Any compound that is added to manufactured materials to inhibit, suppress, or delay the production of flames and so prevent the spread of fire.
curing agent  A chemical additive used to toughen or harden a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains.
