Application

Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is an ammonium salt which can be used for a variety of applications such as:
  • a catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones[1]
  • a promoter in the multicomponent synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-one[2]
  • a reagent to improve the hydrolysis rate of magnesium hydride for the generation of hydrogen[3]
  • a reductant, which facilitates the recovery of metals that are utilized in lithium-ion batteries[4]

Features and Benefits

  • 99.998% trace metals basis Ammonium chloride is essential in analytical chemistry as it prevents interference from impurities, ensuring accurate results, consistent reproducibility, enhanced signal clarity, and improved calibration.
  • Ammonium chloride (99.998% trace metals basis) is used in pharmaceuticals as a buffering agent and synthetic precursor, ensuring safety and efficacy while minimizing adverse reactions due to low impurity levels.
  • High purity NH₄Cl is used as an electrolyte in specific battery systems, improving ionic conductivity and enhancing overall battery performance.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
