Ammonium Chloride is a versatile ammonium-based compound widely used in agriculture, manufacturing, food processing, and specialty chemical applications. In agriculture, it serves as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, promoting crop growth and soil conditioning, particularly in rice and wheat cultivation. In the food industry, Ammonium Chloride is employed as a food additive, flavoring agent, and leavening acid in baked goods, candies, and specialty formulations, where it enhances taste and product quality.
Beyond food and agriculture, Ammonium Chloride functions as a reagent, processing aid, and stabilizer in industries such as pharmaceuticals, textiles, and metallurgy. It is commonly used in dry-cell batteries, metal fluxes for soldering, and cough medicine formulations, where its reactivity and solubility are critical. With its broad functionality, wide availability, and cost-effectiveness, Ammonium Chloride remains an essential raw material across industrial, consumer, and specialty markets.
