Ammonium Chloride (CAS 12125-02-9) is a versatile inorganic salt chemically defined as the reaction product of hydrochloric acid and ammonia, widely utilized across metallurgical and agricultural sectors. This Sal Ammoniac serves as a critical nitrogen source in fertilizer formulations and functions as a highly effective flux in galvanizing processes by cleaning metal surfaces of oxides. In dry cell battery manufacturing and textile printing, Ammonium Muriate acts as an electrolyte and pH buffer, ensuring stability and conductivity in diverse chemical environments. To support these industrial applications, we offer reliable bulk supply of treated and untreated grades. Our integrated logistics ensure competitive factory pricing for global distribution, accompanied by comprehensive regulatory documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA. Furthermore, we maintain the capability to develop customized specifications regarding particle size and anti-caking treatments to meet precise production requirements.

Storage: It should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry warehouse, and pay attention to moisture protection. Avoid co-storage and mixed transportation with acids and alkalis. During transportation, it should be protected from rain and scorching sun. Handle with care when loading and unloading to prevent damage to the package. In the event of a fire, you can extinguish it with water, sand, and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
Properties and uses: Ammonium chloride is a colorless crystalline or white crystalline powder; The aqueous solution is weakly acidic, density: 1.527g/cm3, hygroscopic, and will absorb moisture and clump in humid and rainy weather, and it is powdery Ammonium chloride is highly absorbent of moisture. Ammonium chloride is mainly used in dry batteries, accumulators, ammonium salts, tanning, electroplating, precision casting, medicine, photography, electrodes, adhesives, yeast nutrients and dough improvers. It is mainly for petrochemical additives, environmental protection water treatment, pharmaceutical additives, precision casting and other industries.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is ammonium chloride different from ammonium sulfate or other ammonium salts?
A: Yes. Ammonium chloride is a distinct inorganic salt with its own chemical composition and CAS number, different from other ammonium salts. -
Q:
Is ammonium chloride mainly supplied for industrial and technical applications?
A: It is commonly supplied as an industrial and technical‑grade raw material rather than as a finished consumer product. -
Q:
Why is anti-caking treatment often required for bulk Ammonium Chloride?
A: Ammonium Chloride is hygroscopic and has a strong tendency to absorb atmospheric moisture, leading to severe clumping or "caking" during storage. For industrial applications requiring free-flowing material (such as fertilizer blending or automatic dosing), the product is typically treated with anti-caking agents (like fatty amines or TCP) to modify the crystal surface and prevent agglomeration.
