Product Overview
Ammonium Hydroxide 29% Technical Grade is a clear, colorless aqueous solution of ammonia in water (NH4OH), commonly referred to as Aqua Ammonia or Ammonia Solution. This high-quality alkaline reagent is formulated to meet rigorous technical grade specifications for industrial and manufacturing environments. It provides strong alkalinity for precise pH adjustment, neutralization, and surface preparation applications.
Maintained under controlled conditions to minimize ammonia volatilization, this product ensures consistent concentration and performance. It is compatible with standard industrial HDPE and glass storage systems. This technical grade solution is essential for operations requiring a reliable source of ammonia for water treatment, chemical synthesis, and industrial cleaning processes.
