Ammonium Chloride 99.5%

What is Ammonium Chloride? Ammonium Chloride (chemical formula NH₄Cl) is a white crystalline salt that is highly soluble in water. It is commonly employed in the production of ammonium salts, in pharmaceuticals, and as a flux in metalworking. Ammonium Chloride also plays a role in many biological and chemical processes. It is used in the preparation of buffer solutions and in reactions that require chloride and ammonium ions. Alternate names for Ammonium Chloride include Sal ammoniac and Ammonium chloride (anhydrous).

Frequent Uses

Chemical Synthesis
Widely used in chemical synthesis, where it serves as a source of ammonia and chloride ions. It is employed in the production of ammonium-based compounds, including fertilisers, explosives, and various industrial chemicals. It is also used in reactions involving metal chlorides.

Pharmaceutical Applications
As an expectorant in cough medicines and other respiratory treatments. It works by thinning mucus, helping the body expel it more easily. It is also used in the preparation of certain intravenous solutions and in the formulation of medications for urinary tract infections.

Metalworking
As a flux in metalworking, particularly in the preparation of metals for galvanising, soldering, and brazing. It helps to remove oxides from metal surfaces, allowing for better adhesion of coatings and improved joint formation.

Laboratory Reagent
A valuable reagent in laboratories, particularly in analytical chemistry. It is used to prepare buffer solutions, in acid-base titrations, and for preparing certain chemical solutions. Its use in qualitative analysis helps identify metal ions and other substances in complex mixtures.

Electroplating
Often used in the preparation of electrolyte solutions. It helps to regulate the pH and increase the conductivity of the solution, which is essential for achieving high-quality coatings on metals.

Agricultural Applications
As a nitrogen source in fertilisers. It provides an important form of nitrogen that plants can readily absorb, promoting growth and improving crop yields, especially in areas with soil that may be deficient in nitrogen.

Water Treatment
To help control pH levels and adjust the chemical composition of water. It may also be used in the preparation of disinfectants or in processes where the presence of ammonium ions is required for treatment efficacy
