Buyer’s Notes
Choosing the grade. This is a 23% w/w ammonia solution with a specific gravity of about 0.91. Stronger solutions (25-30%) exist, so compare per kg of NH3, not per kg of solution.
What to check on the spec sheet. Assay as NH3, specific gravity, residue on evaporation and chloride if the end use is sensitive. Ammonia solution loses strength when the container is opened.
Handling and storage. Corrosive with toxic, irritating vapours. Store tightly closed in a cool, ventilated place, away from heat, acids and halogens, and wear gloves, goggles and a respirator when opening carboys.
Where it is used. pH correction, boiler water conditioning, refrigeration and chemical manufacture.
