Ammonium Chloride CAS 12125-02-9

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

• Q:

  Are Ammonium Chloride and NH4Cl the same salt?

  A: Yes. Ammonium chloride and NH4Cl identify CAS 12125-02-9. They are not ammonium sulfate, ammonium bicarbonate or sodium chloride. The purchase order should state industrial, feed, food or other grade, because permitted impurity limits and documentation can differ.
• Q:

  What is Ammonium Chloride used for?

  A: Ammonium chloride is used in electroplating, flux, fertilizer and process applications. Suitability depends on the required grade and physical form, so state the intended process and any anti-caking, purity or particle-size requirements instead of assuming a single finished-use grade.
• Q:

  Which specifications should be agreed for industrial Ammonium Chloride?

  A: Set NH4Cl assay, moisture, pH, insoluble matter, iron, sulfate, heavy metals, particle size and caking tendency with the test methods. Electroplating, flux, fertilizer and process users may need different limits, so the specification should match the selected grade.
• Q:

  Which physical form should be requested?

  A: The required physical form must be specified separately, because ammonium chloride can be supplied in different crystal sizes, granulations or powder forms. Confirm the form, bulk density or particle-size target, and any anti-caking treatment required for storage and handling.
• Q:

  What should be confirmed for packaging, storage and regulatory use?

  A: Confirm packaging for the offered material and destination requirements, then review handling, storage and local regulatory suitability against the product-specific specification. The material is a white crystalline solid with density around 1.53 g/cm3 and sublimes rather than melting at normal pressure.
