Product Grades
Industrial Grade
The main focus is on the purity of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), which is used in electroplating, batteries, metallurgy, and other fields.
Agricultural Grade
The main focus is on total nitrogen content, as it is used as a nitrogen fertilizer, with significant differences in nutrient content across different grades.
Reagent Grade
Purity requirements are extremely high, and it is mostly used in laboratories and fine chemical manufacturing, with relatively low market circulation.
Food Grade
Ammonium chloride content must be ≥99.5%, with strict limits on heavy metal lead content (≤5 mg/kg).
Standard stock items are industrial grade. For special-grade orders, please contact us for full documentation.

Ammonium Chloride Used in the Chemical Manufacturing Industry
Ammonium chloride is the main by-product of the soda ash production process using the combined soda process (Hou's process); high-purity products can be used to prepare other ammonium salts or serve as catalysts in organic synthesis.
Ammonium Chloride Used in the Medicine Industry
Ammonium chloride is utilised as a raw material for manufacturing compound expectorant preparations and other pharmaceutical formulations.
Ammonium Chloride Used in the Battery Industry
Ammonium chloride serves as an electrolyte in the production of paste formulations for carbon‑zinc dry batteries and accumulators.
Ammonium Chloride Used in the Metalworking Industry
Ammonium chloride is used as a flux in metal welding, tinning, and galvanizing, serving to remove iron oxide (rust) from metal surfaces; it is also used as an additive in electroplating baths and in leather tanning processes.
Ammonium Chloride Used in the Agriculture Industry
As a physiologically acidic fertilizer, ammonium chloride supplies nitrogen to crops and is well suited for chlorine-responsive species such as rice, wheat, and cotton.
Ammonium Chloride Used in the Food Industry
High‑purity ammonium chloride may be utilised as a yeast‑culturing agent and food‑processing aid when complying with food‑grade specifications.
Ammonium Chloride Used in the Food Industry
Feed-grade ammonium chloride is an additive for ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep), providing protein supplementation and urolithiasis prevention. It is not suitable for monogastric animals (e.g., chickens, pigs) without careful consideration. Strict differentiation between feed-grade and industrial-grade is essential.
