Introduction >
Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is a white crystalline salt, highly soluble in water. Its production primarily occurs through two main methods. Firstly, it’s a byproduct of the Solvay process, used to manufacture sodium carbonate. Secondly, it’s commercially produced by reacting ammonia (NH₃) with either hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) or hydrochloric acid. The chemical reaction is: NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl. Naturally, it can also be found in volcanic regions. Upon heating, ammonium chloride decomposes into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gases. Its applications are diverse, including use in fertilizers, as an expectorant in medicine, and in soldering flux. It also has a role in dry-cell batteries. We Make only the Pure grade type -1 , which is used for Pharmaceutical & as a galvanizing agent. Please note that we don’t add any Anti-cacking agent

Soldering >
Corrosion Protection and Strong Bonds
Ammonium chloride is crucial in soldering fluxes for several reasons:
Flux Residue Removal: It helps remove oxide coatings from metal surfaces, ensuring a strong solder bond.
Improved Solder Flow: By reducing solder surface tension, it facilitates smooth solder flow.
Preventing Corrosion: It prevents corrosive residues from affecting soldered joints.

Hot-dip Galvanizing >
Enhancing Corrosion Resistance
Ammonium chloride plays a pivotal role in the galvanizing process:
Galvanized Coatings: In hot-dip galvanizing, it serves as an electrolyte, creating a protective zinc coating on steel, enhancing corrosion resistance.
Oxide Coating Removal: It eliminates oxide coatings on metal surfaces before galvanizing.
