Application

Ammonium acetate, GR, 99.0%, serves multiple essential functions across various industries and applications. Primarily used as a reagent in analytical chemistry, it aids in the determination of lead and iron content. This versatile compound is also a key chemical intermediate in the production of acetamide. In veterinary medicine, ammonium acetate acts as a diuretic, and it is involved in the formulation of other medications. Additionally, it finds utility in textile dyeing as a mordant, preservation of meat, and the manufacturing of foam rubber and vinyl plastics. Its role extends to explosives, where it is used for stripping, and it is employed in the wool industry. Furthermore, ammonium acetate serves as a food acidity regulator and buffer, although it is no longer approved for this use in the EU. Finally, its ability to separate lead sulfate from other sulfates highlights its importance in various chemical processes.
