Description

Azane is a high-purity, gaseous compound widely recognized as anhydrous ammonia. This essential industrial chemical serves as a fundamental building block and reagent across numerous sectors due to its strong basicity and reactivity. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the fertilizer, chemical synthesis, and refrigeration industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Fertilizer Production: Primary feedstock for the synthesis of nitrogenous fertilizers like urea, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium phosphate.
• Chemical Synthesis: Key precursor and nitrogen source in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics (e.g., nylon), and explosives.
• Industrial Refrigeration: Used as an efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant (R717) in large-scale industrial cooling systems.
• Water Treatment: Employed for pH control and as a chloramine precursor in municipal and industrial water purification processes.
• Metallurgy: Used in nitriding processes to case-harden steel surfaces, improving wear resistance.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in pulping and as a pH stabilizer in various stages of paper production.
• Laboratory & Research: Serves as a strong base and reagent in analytical chemistry and synthetic organic research.

Quality Control

Our Azane is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure it meets the exacting requirements of industrial and specialty applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing key parameters such as purity, water content, and non-volatile residue. Quality is verified against relevant industry specifications to guarantee supply reliability and performance consistency for our global partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, approved pressure container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, halogens, and heavy metals. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, storage areas must have appropriate safety and leak detection systems. Keep container upright and securely fastened.
