These six properties of SOLVAY Ammonium Chloride illustrate how it can be profitably applied in diverse products and processes. Its (1) acid activity, (2) high solubility at low temperatures and (3) strong electrolytic action make it basic in dry cell batteries. B y solubilizing oxides at high temperatures, it is (4) a valuable flux for soldering and galvanizing metal. As (5) a catalyst in certain organic reactions, it aids adhesive and resin manufacturers.

MELTING POINT: Sublimes. pH OF SOLUTIONS: 25°C: 1 % 5.5, 3% 5.1, 10% 5.0 (technical grade). APPEARANCE: White crystals, practically 100% will pass through a No. 20 screen. REACTIONS: Decomposed in solution by strong alkalies to liberate ammonia. Reacts with nitrites to form nitrogen. Reported to reduce oxides of cobalt and nickel at high temperatures. Hydroxides of nickel, zinc, cadmium and manganese reported to be more soluble m water in presence of ammonium chloride. Acid characteristics cause acceleration of set of urea-formaldehyde resins. QUALITY: Principal impurity is sodium chloride. Very low in metallic impurities. Technical grade better than 99% NH4CI.
