Ammonium Chloride

Ammonium chloride is a white crystalline powder that is commonly used in various industrial applications, including as a fertilizer, a feed additive, and a flux for soldering and welding.

In agriculture, ammonium chloride is used as a nitrogen fertilizer to provide essential nutrients to plants. It is particularly effective for use on crops that require large amounts of nitrogen, such as corn and wheat.

Ammonium chloride is also used as a feed additive for livestock, particularly in ruminant animals such as cows and sheep. It helps to increase the acidity of the rumen, which aids in digestion.

In the electronics industry, ammonium chloride is used as a flux for soldering and welding. It helps to remove oxides from the surface of metals, which promotes better adhesion between the metal surfaces.

Ammonium chloride is generally considered safe when used properly. However, it can be a skin and eye irritant, and proper protective equipment should be worn when handling the powder. It should also be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat and moisture.
