Ammonium Chloride 25%

Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl) with a 25% Nitrogen content is a specialized nitrogenous fertilizer and industrial chemical. Known as a “physiologically acidic” fertilizer, it is particularly valued in international trade for its cost-effectiveness and high performance in specific soil conditions.

1. Technical Specifications

Our Ammonium Chloride is manufactured to meet rigorous international standards, ensuring high purity and consistent performance. It is available in two physical forms tailored to different application methods.

2. Physical Form Comparison

• Powdered (Crystal): Primarily used as a raw material for NPK compound fertilizer production. Its fine texture allows for uniform mixing with other nutrients. It has a faster dissolution rate but is more prone to moisture absorption (hygroscopicity) if not stored correctly.

• Granular: Designed for direct soil application and mechanized fertilization. The granules are treated to be anti-caking, ensuring they remain free-flowing for easier handling, transport, and precise spreading in the field.

3. Strategic Applications Agricultural Use (Primary)

• Rice Cultivation: It is the preferred nitrogen source for paddy fields. Unlike urea, the ammonium form is stable in flooded soils, reducing nitrogen loss through denitrification.

• Chloride-Responsive Crops: Highly effective for crops that benefit from chloride ions, such as fiber crops (cotton, hemp) where it improves fiber strength, and oil palms/coconuts.

• Alkaline Soil Management: As an acidic fertilizer, it helps neutralize alkaline soils, improving the availability of other micronutrients to the plant.

Industrial Use

• Battery Industry: Used as an electrolyte in dry-cell batteries.

• Metalworking: Acts as a flux in galvanizing and soldering to clean the surface of metals.

• Tanning & Textiles: Used in the de-liming process of leather and as a dyeing assistant in textile printing.

4. Handling and Storage (Logistics)

To maintain the 25% Nitrogen integrity and prevent caking:

• Packaging: 25kg or 50kg PP/PE woven bags with inner plastic liners; 1000kg jumbo bags for industrial bulk.

• Storage: Must be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from alkaline substances (like lime) to prevent the release of ammonia gas.
