Aqua Ammonia is also known as ammonia solution, ammonium hydroxide, ammonia water, ammonical liquor, ammonia liquor, aqueous ammonia, or simply ammonia. TCC’s Aqua Ammonia is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong pungent ammonia odor. It is a solution of ammonia gas (a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen) in water.

Aqua Ammonia is produced by dissolving ammonia gas (NH₃) in water, forming a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor. It is commonly referred to interchangeably as ammonium hydroxide, ammonia solution, or ammonia water.
This solution acts as a weak base, capable of raising pH and neutralizing acidic compounds in chemical processes. Aqua ammonia is widely used as a safer alternative to anhydrous ammonia in many applications because it can be handled and transported as a liquid rather than a compressed gas.
Commercial concentrations typically range from ~5% to 30% ammonia by weight, with higher concentrations used for industrial processes requiring stronger alkalinity.
Due to its reactivity and high pH, aqua ammonia is also used in emission control systems, water treatment, and manufacturing processes where precise pH control and neutralization are required.
Aqua Ammonia is used across a broad range of industries and chemical processes, including:
Its ability to neutralize acids and provide a readily available nitrogen source makes it a critical input in environmental and industrial systems.
Aqua Ammonia is available in a variety of packaging formats to meet operational requirements:
Storage and handling systems typically require corrosion-resistant materials due to the alkaline and reactive nature of the solution.
Aqua Ammonia is used for pH control, water and wastewater treatment, fertilizers, industrial cleaning, chemical manufacturing, and emissions control applications.
The CAS number for Aqua Ammonia, also known as Ammonium Hydroxide, is 1336-21-6.
Yes. Aqua Ammonia is commonly referred to as Ammonium Hydroxide, Ammonia Solution, or Aqueous Ammonia.
Yes. Aqua Ammonia is a strongly alkaline, corrosive solution and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions and storage procedures.
Aqua Ammonia is typically available in bulk tank trucks, IBC totes, and drums, depending on your volume requirements.
Aqua Ammonia is commonly used in water treatment, agriculture, pulp and paper, food processing, chemical manufacturing, and industrial cleaning applications.
