Ammonium Bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃) – Food & Industrial Grade
Ammonium Bicarbonate (CAS No. 1066-33-7) is a high-purity inorganic compound utilized extensively as a leavening agent in the food industry and as a vital raw material in technical chemical manufacturing. As a leading raw chemical supplier in India with a global footprint, we provide premium-grade Ammonium Bicarbonate that ensures consistent performance, whether for commercial baking or specialized industrial applications.
Our product is processed to maintain superior stability and purity, meeting the stringent requirements of both the food and non-food manufacturing sectors. If you are sourcing reliable chemicals for your production line, our Ammonium Bicarbonate offers the quality and technical compliance your business demands.
Key Industrial & Commercial Applications
1. Food Industry (Leavening Agent)
Ammonium Bicarbonate serves as a traditional leavening agent for flat-baked goods, such as cookies, crackers, and biscuits. It is highly valued for its ability to produce a crisp texture without leaving an alkaline residue, making it a staple in the food-grade chemical catalogue.
2. Fertilizer & Agricultural Use
In the agricultural sector, it is used as a cost-effective nitrogen fertilizer. Due to its high nitrogen content, it provides rapid nutrient delivery for specific soil conditions and plant types.
3. Industrial Manufacturing
Beyond the kitchen, it is an essential precursor in the production of high-purity ceramics, dyes, and specialized chemical catalysts. Its decomposition into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water makes it an ideal "clean-burning" foaming agent in the manufacturing of porous plastics and rubber products.
Safety & Handling
Due to its volatility and chemical nature, professional handling is recommended:
-
Protective Gear: Wear safety goggles and gloves to prevent irritation to the eyes and skin.
-
Inhalation Prevention: Avoid breathing dust or vapors; use a standard dust mask during bulk handling in enclosed spaces.
-
Temperature Control: Handle in a cool environment, as the product begins to decompose and release ammonia above 35 C.
-
Hygiene: Maintain strict personal hygiene and wash hands thoroughly after contact.
-
Ventilation: Ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation to manage the faint ammonia odor and airborne particles.

Ammonium Bicarbonate MSDS
Ammonium Bicarbonate is an inorganic salt generally safe for industrial use; however, it can release ammonia gas and cause mild respiratory or eye irritation upon exposure. It should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse in tightly sealed, moisture-proof packaging to prevent thermal decomposition. For a detailed COA or technical dossier, please submit your bulk inquiry to our sales division for current lead times.
