What is Ammonium Hydroxide?

Ammonium Hydroxide — commonly known as Ammonia Solution or Aqua Ammonia — is the aqueous solution formed when ammonia gas (NH3) is dissolved in water, commonly written as NH4OH, with CAS number 1336-21-6 and UN number 2672. It is a colourless liquid with a strong, pungent odour and a highly alkaline pH, valued for its reactivity as a base and nitrogen source across water treatment, textile, rubber, metal treatment, and chemical manufacturing.

Ammonium Hydroxide is fully miscible with water and readily releases ammonia gas (off-gasses), particularly at higher temperatures — this is why it must be stored in sealed, vented containers in cool, well-ventilated conditions.

Other common names include Ammonia Water and Liquid Ammonia. It is distinct from Anhydrous Ammonia, which is pure ammonia gas stored under pressure without water. Ammonium Hydroxide is classified as a Class 8 corrosive substance and causes severe skin burns and eye damage, so it must be handled with appropriate PPE at all times.

Hazchem Chemicals LLC supplies Industrial Grade Ammonium Hydroxide at 25% concentration, sourced from India, with reliable availability for industrial customers throughout the region, subject to prior sales.

How Ammonium Hydroxide Is Made & Used: From Production to Application

Understanding how Ammonium Hydroxide is produced and how it behaves in use helps buyers and operators dose, store, and handle it correctly. The lifecycle moves through several key stages:

1

Ammonia Gas Synthesis

Ammonia gas (NH3) is industrially synthesised, most commonly via the Haber-Bosch process, combining nitrogen and hydrogen under heat and pressure.

2

Absorption in Water

Ammonia gas is dissolved into water under controlled conditions to form aqueous Ammonium Hydroxide (Ammonia Solution).

3

Concentration Adjustment

The solution is adjusted to the required strength — Hazchem supplies at 25% concentration, a standard industrial strength.

4

Quality Testing

Batches are tested for concentration, density, and impurities before packaging, with documentation available on request.

5

Packaging & Stabilisation

Product is filled into sealed, vented 215kg drums designed to contain corrosive ammonia solution and limit uncontrolled off-gassing.

6

Industrial Application

The finished product is used in water treatment, textile processing, rubber stabilisation, metal treatment, and chemical manufacturing in compliance with relevant regulatory standards.

Applications of Ammonium Hydroxide

Ammonium Hydroxide (Ammonia Solution) is a versatile industrial reagent. Its alkalinity, nitrogen content, and reactivity make it essential across the following industries and applications:

💧

Storage and Safe Handling of Ammonium Hydroxide

Storage Requirements

Ammonium Hydroxide is a corrosive material that readily off-gasses ammonia vapour, especially as temperature rises. Store in tightly sealed, vented drums in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. In the UAE's warm climate, keeping drums shaded and cool is essential to limit internal pressure build-up and vapour release.

Incompatible Materials

Ammonium Hydroxide may be corrosive to metals and should be kept away from acids, strong oxidising agents, and reactive metals such as copper, brass, zinc, and aluminium alloys, which it can corrode over time. Use compatible plastic, glass, or coated equipment for handling and decanting.

Safe Handling & PPE

Ammonium Hydroxide causes severe skin burns and eye damage and is harmful if inhaled. Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, chemical safety goggles or a face shield, and appropriate respiratory protection when handling or decanting. Work in well-ventilated areas or under local exhaust ventilation to avoid inhaling ammonia vapour, and keep drums sealed between uses.

Handling Best Practice

Always use clean, dedicated, corrosion-resistant equipment when transferring or decanting Ammonium Hydroxide. Avoid cross-contamination with acids or oxidisers, and reseal drums promptly after use to minimise ammonia off-gassing. Ensure spill response equipment and appropriate PPE are on hand before handling.

Chemical Properties of Ammonium Hydroxide

Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH) forms when ammonia gas dissolves in water, producing an alkaline solution rich in hydroxide ions — the foundation of its behaviour as a weak base and reactive industrial reagent. This alkalinity is what makes it effective across water treatment, textile, and chemical manufacturing applications.

Ammonium Hydroxide is volatile — it readily releases ammonia gas from solution, especially at higher temperatures, which is why proper sealed, vented, cool storage is essential. It is classified as a corrosive substance (Class 8, UN 2672) and causes severe skin burns and eye damage, and may be corrosive to metals such as copper, brass, and zinc.

As an Industrial Grade material, Hazchem's Ammonium Hydroxide is supplied at a standard 25% concentration suitable for water treatment, textile, rubber, and general industrial applications — refer to the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full specification and handling guidance.

FAQs — Buying Ammonium Hydroxide in the UAE

Ammonium Hydroxide is the aqueous solution formed when ammonia gas (NH3) is dissolved in water, commonly written as NH4OH (CAS 1336-21-6, UN 2672). It is a colourless liquid with a strong, pungent odour, used extensively in water treatment, textile processing, rubber stabilisation, metal treatment, and chemical manufacturing. Hazchem supplies Industrial Grade Ammonium Hydroxide at 25% concentration.
Ammonium Hydroxide is ammonia gas (NH3) already dissolved in water — it is the liquid solution form of ammonia. Anhydrous Ammonia, by contrast, is pure ammonia gas with no water content, stored under pressure. Both share the same underlying chemistry but are handled and stored very differently.
Ammonium Hydroxide has a broad range of industrial applications. The most significant include: pH correction and disinfection processes in water and wastewater treatment; mercerizing, dyeing, and scouring in textile processing; stabilising natural rubber latex; surface treatment in metal and electroplating operations; a nitrogen source in fertiliser production; and a general reagent in chemical manufacturing and cleaning product formulation.
Ammonium Hydroxide is used across a wide range of industries, including: water and wastewater treatment, textile processing, rubber and latex, metal treatment and electroplating, fertiliser and agriculture, chemical manufacturing, leather processing, pulp and paper, and cleaning product manufacturing.
Yes. Ammonium Hydroxide is classified as a Class 8 corrosive substance (UN 2672). It causes severe skin burns and eye damage, is harmful if inhaled, and may be corrosive to metals such as copper, brass, and zinc. Chemical-resistant gloves, chemical safety goggles or a face shield, and adequate respiratory protection and ventilation are required when handling. Refer to the SDS for full handling guidance.
Ammonium Hydroxide is ammonia gas already dissolved in water at a set concentration (Hazchem supplies 25%), stored and handled at normal atmospheric pressure in sealed drums. Anhydrous Ammonia is pure ammonia gas with no water content, requiring pressurised storage and specialised handling equipment. Ammonium Hydroxide is generally simpler for standard industrial buyers who do not require gaseous ammonia.
Store Ammonium Hydroxide in tightly sealed, vented drums in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat, since elevated temperature increases internal pressure and ammonia off-gassing. Keep away from acids, oxidising agents, and reactive metals such as copper, brass, and zinc, which it can corrode over time.
