Application

Ammonium acetate, 99.99% metals basis, serves multiple purposes across various fields due to its versatile chemical properties. This high-purity compound is particularly valuable in analytical chemistry, where it is used to determine the content of lead and iron. It is an essential chemical intermediate in the production of acetamide and is employed in the wool industry as a dye mordant. In medical applications, ammonium acetate functions as a diuretic and diaphoretic, and in veterinary medicine, it supports diuretic treatments. Additionally, this salt finds applications in textile dyeing, meat preservation, foam rubber manufacturing, and vinyl plastics production. With its ability to act as a buffer solution, it also facilitates the separation of lead sulfate from other sulfates. Despite its former use as a food acidity regulator, it is no longer approved for this purpose in the EU.
