Ammonium Chloride Technical White, Pure, Extra Pure, L.R., A.R., G.R., Caking & Anti-caking, IP,BP, USP,EP. Bricks, Bars Pellets, Latta & Tablets off Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) (also Sal Ammoniac, Salmiac, Salmiak, Nushadir Salt, Navsagar Zalmiak, Sal Armagnac, Sal Armoniac, Salmiakki, Salamaka, Salmiak and Salt Armoniack) is, in its pure form, a clear white water-soluble crystalline salt of ammonia. The aqueous ammonium chloride solution is mildly acidic.
Ammonium chloride is used as an expectorant, diuretic and systemic acidifying agent.It is used in the treatment of severemetabolic alkalosis, to maintain the urine at an acid pHin the treatment of some urinary-tract disorders or in forced aciddiuresis.
We make Ammonium Chloride Crystal, Bars or Latta & Tablets/Pellets. in our Automatic Vacuum Evaporated Plant. Grades offered are as under:
