Sodium Nitrate
Refined Catalytic Element 82 
Sodium Nitrate is a raw material in No Man's Sky. An advanced catalyst, useful for charging defensive technologies such as shields or hazard protection. Created in a Refiner, or occasionally found in crystalline form on a planet's surface. Offers a substantially improved energy-per-gram ratio over regular Sodium. To craft it, combine Crystal Sulphide x1 in a Refiner.
