Ammonium Hydroxide 29% Technical Grade

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.

Common Applications

• Water Treatment & pH Control: Used extensively to adjust pH levels in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, aiding in coagulation and corrosion control within distribution systems.
• Industrial Cleaning: Acts as a powerful agent for degreasing and removing organic/inorganic soils from metal and non-metal surfaces in manufacturing facilities.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as a primary reagent in synthesis pathways requiring an alkaline aqueous medium, including the production of fertilizers and nitrogen-based compounds.
• Metal Finishing: Utilized in the surface preparation and finishing of aluminum and other metals.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed in titrations and preparative workflows requiring a stable ammonia source.

Safety Precautions

Handling & Storage: Ammonium Hydroxide is corrosive. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area separated from incompatible materials (acids, strong oxidizers). Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent ammonia gas loss. Use HDPE or glass containers.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear chemical-resistant gloves, chemical safety goggles, and face shields. Ensure adequate ventilation or use respiratory protection if vapor limits are exceeded. In case of skin or eye contact, flush immediately with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
