Description
Ammonia Product Overview
Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless gas with a sharp, pungent odor. It boils at about −33°C and is stored and transported as a liquefied gas under pressure. Aqueous solutions are sold separately as Ammonium Hydroxide.
Most ammonia goes into nitrogen fertilizers, directly or after conversion to Urea, ammonium nitrate and Ammonium Sulfate. The chemical industry oxidizes it to make Nitric acid and uses it to produce amines, acrylonitrile, caprolactam and many other chemicals.
It is also an efficient, climate-friendly refrigerant (R-717) in large industrial refrigeration systems, and power plants and engines use it, or urea, to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in SCR systems. It is also studied as a carbon-free fuel and hydrogen carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the anhydrous gas and ammonium hydroxide?
Anhydrous ammonia is pure NH3 supplied as a liquefied gas. Ammonium hydroxide is a solution of ammonia in water, easier to handle in many applications.
Which grades do you supply?
Industrial and high-purity grades in cylinders and bulk containers. Please state purity, quantity and packaging when requesting a quote.
How can I get a price and documents?
