About Liquor Ammonia (25%)

Liquor Ammonia (25%) is an aqueous solution containing 25% ammonia by weight, recognizable by its clear liquid form and characteristic strong ammonia odor. It serves as a concentrated source of ammonia in water, facilitating industrial use where gaseous ammonia would be harder to handle. Typically, the pH ranges between 11 and 12 depending on exact concentration, providing alkaline properties essential for various chemical processes. This chemical is supplied under controlled conditions to maintain stability and must be handled with care; it should not be stored near acids to prevent hazardous reactions. Its miscibility with water ensures easy dilution and integration into formulations, but users should note the solution’s strong odor and corrosivity. Industrial users generally dose it according to process requirements, such as adjusting water pH to target levels or acting as a nitrogen source in fertilizer synthesis. Finstar supplies Liquor Ammonia (25%) to buyers across four East African countries, supporting manufacturing and processing operations requiring reliable ammonia solutions in liquid form.

Why Liquor Ammonia (25%) Matters

In water treatment processes, controlling pH is vital to maintaining system stability and complying with discharge regulations. Liquor Ammonia (25%) provides an effective means to raise pH levels in such systems, preventing corrosion and optimizing chemical reactions. In fertilizer production, it supplies the nitrogen component essential for plant nutrition. Having an aqueous ammonia source allows efficient and consistent nitrogen input, critical for achieving agricultural productivity. Using this chemical reduces logistical challenges related to handling ammonia gas and supports safer operational environments.
