Ammonium Chloride

AMAS Chemical is a leading Iranian manufacturer and supplier of industrial water treatment chemicals, providing reliable and high-purity solutions for industrial, municipal, and environmental applications.

Among our key products is Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl) — a versatile and essential compound widely used in water treatment, galvanizing, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals.

As part of our comprehensive product portfolio, AMAS Chemical also produces Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) and Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC), offering integrated solutions for efficient and sustainable water purification systems.

What Is Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl)?

Ammonium Chloride is a white crystalline salt, easily soluble in water and slightly acidic in nature.

It is formed by the combination of ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen chloride (HCl), making it an important inorganic chemical for several industries.

Chemical Formula: NH₄Cl

Molecular Weight: 53.49 g/mol

Purity (Industrial Grade): 99.0% minimum

Form: Crystalline powder or granules

pH (1% Solution): Approx. 5.5

Due to its balanced composition and high solubility, ammonium chloride plays a critical role in pH control, nitrogen supplementation, and surface cleaning applications.

Applications of Ammonium Chloride

Water and Wastewater Treatment

In the water treatment industry, ammonium chloride is used as a stabilizing agent for chlorine and as a source of nitrogen for biological treatment systems.

It helps form chloramines when combined with chlorine, providing long-lasting disinfection effects in water networks.

Uses in water treatment:

• Chloramine formation for disinfection
• pH control and stabilization
• Nitrogen source for biological treatment
• Neutralization and buffering in chemical dosing systems

At AMAS Chemical, our high-purity ammonium chloride ensures consistent performance, minimal impurities, and compatibility with other treatment chemicals such as Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃) and Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC).

Metal Processing and Galvanizing

Ammonium chloride is a vital flux agent in the galvanizing industry. It helps remove metal oxides and prepares surfaces for uniform zinc coating.

It’s commonly used in combination with zinc chloride as a double salt flux to improve coating adhesion and prevent oxidation.

Key benefits for metal processing:

Enhances bonding between metal and coating

Improves surface cleanliness

Reduces oxidation during heating and soldering

Increases production efficiency in galvanizing plants

Agriculture and Fertilizer Applications

In agriculture, ammonium chloride acts as a nitrogen fertilizer, particularly effective in rice, wheat, and maize cultivation.

It provides immediate nitrogen availability, supporting plant growth and improving crop yield.

AMAS Chemical supplies agricultural-grade ammonium chloride suitable for both saline and alkaline soils.

Benefits for farmers:

Quick nitrogen absorption

Reduced ammonia volatilization losses

Cost-effective nitrogen source

Improves soil fertility and plant vigor

Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Use

High-purity ammonium chloride is used as an expectorant in cough syrups and as an acidifying agent in medical formulations.

It is also an essential reagent in laboratory analysis and pharmaceutical synthesis.

Battery and Electronic Applications

In the electrical industry, ammonium chloride is a component of dry-cell (zinc-carbon) batteries, serving as an electrolyte to ensure stable voltage output and long battery life.

Complementary Water Treatment Chemicals

In addition to Ammonium Chloride, AMAS Chemical manufactures and supplies several other essential chemicals for complete water and wastewater treatment solutions:

Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃)

Ferric chloride is a powerful coagulant and oxidizing agent used for removing suspended solids, color, and organic matter from wastewater.

It is widely applied in municipal water plants, industrial effluent treatment, and sewage sludge conditioning.

Benefits:

High coagulation efficiency

Reduces COD and BOD levels

Improves clarification and filtration

Cost-effective and environmentally friendly

Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC)

PAC is a high-performance coagulant used for rapid and efficient solid-liquid separation in water purification.

Its polymeric structure ensures better floc formation and lower residual turbidity compared to traditional alum-based coagulants.

Advantages of PAC:

Works efficiently in a wide pH range

Produces less sludge

Reduces chemical consumption

Enhances water clarity and quality

AMAS Chemical supplies PAC 10%, 18%, and 30% grades suitable for drinking water, industrial wastewater, and paper industry applications.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Ammonium chloride is classified as non-toxic but should be handled with care.

Use standard personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and masks when handling the product.

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture and incompatible materials like strong acids or bases.

For bulk users, AMAS Chemical provides technical guidance and dosing recommendations to ensure optimal performance and safety.
