Product: Ammonium Sulfate
Chemical Family: Inorganic salt
Formula: (NH4)2SO4
Form: White crystals or granules
Relevant Use: Fertilizer, industrial water treatment, and chemical manufacturing
Smell: Mild, similar to ammonia
Our facilities follow strict controls to ensure every batch matches the expected characterization, which builds confidence for both heavy industry and agriculture clients.
Classification: Not flammable, not explosive, limited acute toxicity
Main Hazards: Eye irritation, potential skin irritation after prolonged contact, respiratory discomfort from fine particles
Risk Phrases: Dust may cause mild irritation, ingestion can cause temporary gastrointestinal upset
Label Pictograms: Exclamation mark for irritant
No severe fire or environmental hazards link to ammonium sulfate in controlled settings, but dust should stay minimized through careful process engineering—this keeps breathing zones clear and meets standards set by global workplace safety bodies.
Substance: Ammonium sulfate
CAS Number: 7783-20-2
Purity: Generally above 99%
Significant Impurities: Trace metals well below regulatory thresholds, monitored with each production cycle
We never use additives or non-disclosed agents—batch transparency matters for downstream manufacturers and food producers. Strict ingredient control strengthens compliance and reduces end-user risk profiles.
Eye Contact: Flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with water and soap
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, seek assistance for persistent discomfort
Incidents remain rare in our plants since SOPs enforce closed transfer, PPE, and exposure controls. Training covers every step so emergencies get handled rapidly and with full awareness of real-world risks.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Combustion Risk: Not inherently combustible; decomposes at high temperature, producing ammonia and sulfur oxides
Firefighting Instructions: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in case of dense smoke
Our manufacturing sites keep appropriate fire suppression systems, even for materials with low fire probability, because safeguarding people is non-negotiable.
Personal Precautions: Use dust masks, protective gloves when cleaning spills
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering waterways in large quantities
Clean-up Techniques: Shovel or sweep into secure containers for recovery or safe disposal
Housekeeping processes limit dust release into the air and groundwater, protecting both workers and nearby agricultural land from excessive nitrate or ammonia enrichment.
Handling: Use local exhaust ventilation for bulk operations, minimize formation of dust, maintain clean workspaces
Storage: Store in cool, dry area, away from incompatible materials such as alkalis and strong acids
Container Integrity: Regular inspection protocols to catch potential corrosion or leakage
Staff receive clear instructions on container sealing and labeling, because trace contamination over time can impact product quality or safety downstream—and customer trust relies on this diligence.
Engineering Controls: Enclosed systems, dedicated dust extractors, periodic air monitoring
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, protective eyewear, dust masks or respirators for fine particulate work
Administrative Controls: Rotating shifts and regular health checks for workers exposed to dust
Strict enforcement of exposure limits based on occupational standards strengthens safety records and health outcomes plant-wide.
Appearance: White, fine crystalline or granular solid
Odor: Slight ammonia smell
Solubility: Highly soluble in water
Melting Point: Will decompose before melting around 235–280 °C
Density: Approx. 1.77 g/cm3
pH (10% solution): Mildly acidic, typically 5.0–6.0
As a bulk chemical, physical integrity means ease of handling in the field or on the factory floor, with minimal risk of caking or significant property shifts during recommended storage.
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and transport conditions
Incompatible Substances: Strong alkalis, strong acids, chlorates
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Releases ammonia, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides at high temperatures
Our batch records track every truckload, and automated failsafes continuously check for temperature spikes, moisture ingress, or off-spec reactions, so risks become manageable instead of surprises.
Acute Oral Toxicity: Minimal; LD50 in animal studies usually exceeds 2000 mg/kg
Irritation: Mild to eyes and respiratory tract, very low skin reactivity
Chronic Effects: No evidence of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity when handled correctly
We reinforce practical safety rules in every training session, because understanding the real (not theoretical) toxicology helps everyone stay vigilant and minimizes avoidable accidents.
Persistence and Degradability: Fully soluble, does not bioaccumulate
Ecotoxicity: Can cause nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) in water systems if large amounts escape
Mobility: Moves freely in water, less in soil
Our production incorporates drainage controls, and wastewater monitoring, ensuring discharges stay well inside legal limits and local farming communities face no unwanted runoff.
Waste Handling: Recycle or reuse wherever practical, coordinate with approved waste disposal sites
Landfill Suitability: Permitted for non-hazardous waste classes after consultation with environmental authorities
Container Disposal: Remove all residues before recycling or disposal
Our teams work directly with waste handlers and local regulators, finding sustainable solutions for byproducts, and prioritizing recovery over dumping, out of long-term responsibility to both neighbors and the ecosystem.
Transport Classification: Non-hazardous for land, sea, and air
Packaging: Moisture-proof packaging with clear labeling
Handling Precautions: Stack securely to prevent shifting or package rupture
Every outbound shipment is tracked until delivery, and drivers know exact emergency response routes, so delays, product loss, or environmental incidents are vanishingly rare.
Workplace Control: Covered under standard chemical registration rules (REACH, OSHA, or equivalents by region)
Labeling: Clear indication of product, batch number, precautionary phrases
Reporting: Regular compliance audits on storage, disposal, and emission
Our compliance officers review every update in regional and international chemical safety codes, building a record of transparency that carries real weight for all partners up and down the supply chain.
