Ammonium Chloride (Tech Grade) is a high-quality inorganic salt available as a white crystalline powder. It is highly soluble in water and widely used in metallurgical, textile, fertilizer, and general industrial applications. Known for its excellent buffering and fluxing properties, this grade is suitable for technical and industrial processes, where high purity and consistency are essential.
Metallurgical Industry:
Used as a flux in metal cleaning, soldering, and tinning processes to remove oxides from metal surfaces.
Fertilizer Industry:
Serves as a nitrogen source in compound fertilizers, especially for rice and wheat cultivation.
Textile & Dyeing:
Used in textile printing, dyeing, and tanning to improve dye fixation and color uniformity.
Battery Manufacturing:
Acts as an electrolyte component in dry cell batteries.
General Industrial Use:
Functions as a buffer, pH control agent, and ammonia source in various formulations.
