Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl) is a versatile inorganic salt appearing as a white crystalline solid with very high water solubility and mildly acidic behavior. It is commercially produced by the controlled reaction of ammonia (NH₃) with hydrogen chloride (HCl):
NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl
Industrially, ammonium chloride is also recovered as a by‑product of the Solvay process and other chemical manufacturing routes. Due to its wide functionality, it is produced and traded globally in multiple grades—industrial, battery, food (FCC), and pharmaceutical (USP/BP/EP)—each tailored to specific end‑use requirements.
With over 13 years of experience in chemical raw material trading, Maran Tejarat Trading acts as a trusted Iranian exporter of ammonium chloride, connecting regional buyers with reliable Iranian producers while ensuring quality.
Key Physical & Chemical Properties (Selection Criteria)
Understanding these properties is critical when selecting the right grade for your application:
– Solubility: Extremely high in water; solubility increases with temperature → ideal for rapid solution preparation
– Hygroscopicity: Tends to absorb moisture → requires moisture‑resistant packaging for export
– pH of Aqueous Solution: Slightly acidic (≈ 4.6–6.0) → equipment compatibility should be considered
– Thermal Stability: Stable under normal conditions; decomposes at elevated temperatures into NH₃ and HCl
– Particle Form: Available as powder, granules, or crystals
– Powder: faster dissolution
– Granular: better flowability and handling
These parameters directly influence process efficiency, storage stability, and final product performance.
Industry Applications & Formulation Roles
Agriculture (Fertilizers)
– Efficient nitrogen source, especially suitable for rice cultivation
– Preferred where chloride tolerance is acceptable
Battery Industry
– Used as electrolyte in zinc–carbon (dry cell) batteries
– Requires very low trace metals and controlled moisture
Metal Treatment & Galvanizing
– Acts as flux in soldering, tinning, and galvanizing
– Removes metal oxides and improves solder adhesion
Food Industry
– Food Grade (FCC) ammonium chloride used as flavor modifier and processing aid
– Strict compliance with food standards required
Pharmaceutical & Veterinary
– Used as expectorant, urinary acidifier, and pH buffer
– Veterinary applications include prevention of urinary stones in ruminants
Ammonium Chloride Grades – Comparison & Selection Guide
– Industrial / Technical Grade
General industrial use with standard quality control
– Battery Grade
High purity with ultra‑low trace metals and moisture
– Food Grade (FCC)
Compliant with Food Chemicals Codex requirements
– Pharmaceutical Grade (USP / BP / EP)
Highest purity level; full pharmacopoeial compliance
Qualitative Selection Parameters
– Purity (Assay): Industrial → Very High (Pharma)
– Moisture / Loss on Drying: Acceptable → Minimal (Battery/Pharma)
– Heavy Metals: Controlled → Ultra‑low
– Insoluble Matter: Low, suitable for clear solutions
– Particle Size: Matched to dissolution speed or flowability needs
