Product Overview
Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl, 25% N, 66% Cl) is a nitrogen fertilizer particularly suited for chloride-tolerant crops on alkaline soils, and a critical industrial chemical in soldering flux, battery electrolytes, textile printing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its acidifying effect on alkaline soils improves micronutrient availability (Fe, Zn, Mn) that are otherwise locked up at high pH. Dongkwang Poland supplies agricultural and technical grade ammonium chloride for diverse market applications.
How Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl) Works
NH₄Cl dissociates in soil solution into NH₄⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. The ammonium undergoes nitrification, releasing H⁺ ions that gradually lower soil pH — beneficial in alkaline soils where micronutrient deficiencies are common. The chloride ion, while not required by most plants, can suppress certain soil-borne diseases (take-all in wheat) and improve crop quality in specific cases (coconut, oil palm). In industry, the salt’s hygroscopic and flux properties make it essential for soldering and metalwork.
Key Benefits
Application Guide
Agriculture: 200-400 kg/ha for rice, wheat, maize on alkaline soils. Avoid on chloride-sensitive crops (tobacco, potato, grape). For rice paddies: broadcast 250-350 kg/ha into flooded paddies. Industrial: per specific application requirements. Food: as specified by food-grade regulations. Apply to soil only — not suitable for foliar application.
Ideal For
Storage & Handling
Store in dry, cool conditions in sealed bags. Non-hazardous for transport (not ADR classified). Mildly corrosive to metals in humid conditions — avoid contact with iron and steel equipment. Shelf life: 24 months. Standard PPE for handling. Avoid dust inhalation.
