Ammonia (NH₃) is a colorless, pungent gas that serves as one of the most essential industrial chemicals worldwide. It is highly soluble in water and forms ammonium hydroxide upon dissolution. Its high nitrogen content makes it a foundational compound for fertilizers, refrigerants, and numerous syntheses.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Ammonia (CAS 7664-41-7) to customers in more than 40 countries.
Ammonia
Applications
Ammonia is primarily used for producing urea, ammonium nitrate, and other nitrogen fertilizers. It also functions as a refrigerant in industrial cooling systems, a pH adjuster, and a feedstock for nitric acid and amines. In water treatment and textiles, it aids in neutralization and cleaning processes.
Safety & Risks
Toxic and corrosive gas; contact with eyes or skin causes burns. Inhalation can be fatal at high concentrations. Use only in closed systems with ventilation, gas detection, and PPE.
Packaging
Delivered as anhydrous liquid in pressurized cylinders or tanks, or as aqueous ammonia in HDPE drums. Store in cool, isolated areas with secondary containment.
