What is 25% Ammonia Solution?
25% ammonia solution is a clear, strongly alkaline liquid with a pungent odor. It is produced by dissolving ammonia gas (NH₃) in water at a stable concentration, resulting in a solution with a pH above 11. It is available in different purity grades and is used to neutralize acids, act as a lab reagent, and degrease metal surfaces. ECSA delivers this product in chemical-resistant containers such as IBC tanks, drums, and custom-sized canisters.
Typical Application Sectors
Ammonia solution is used across numerous industries, including:
- Chemical manufacturing: fertilizers, resins, polymers
- Pharmaceutical: pH stabilization during batch production
- Water treatment: nitrogen enrichment in biological systems
- Textile processing: fiber preparation and dyeing
- Food industry: cleaning equipment (not as a food additive)
- Electroplating: management of electrochemical reactions
Its versatility allows seamless integration into existing industrial processes.
Advantages for Industrial Use
The solution offers key benefits:
- Effective acid neutralization with low dosage
