Anhydrous and aqueous Ammonia (CAS 7664-41-7) for fertilizer, refrigeration, nitric acid and industrial cleaning applications. Supplied in cylinders, ISO tanks and bulk to the UAE and GCC.
Product Overview
Ammonia (NH₃) is a colourless, pungent gas produced industrially at vast scale via the Haber-Bosch process, which combines atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen (typically sourced from natural gas) under high pressure and temperature over an iron catalyst. It is one of the most heavily produced chemicals on Earth, underpinning the global food supply through nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing.
Ammonia is supplied commercially in two principal forms: anhydrous ammonia, a pressurised liquefied gas of very high purity used directly as a fertilizer or as feedstock for urea, ammonium nitrate and nitric acid production; and aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide solution), used in cleaning products, water treatment, metal processing and smaller-scale industrial applications where handling a compressed gas is impractical.
Beyond its role as the foundation of the nitrogen fertilizer industry, ammonia is a critical refrigerant in industrial cooling systems, a reducing agent in NOx emission-control (SCR) systems, and an increasingly important hydrogen carrier for emerging clean-energy and maritime fuel applications. Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies both anhydrous and aqueous grades to meet diverse industrial requirements across the region.

Request Technical DatasheetApplications
Ammonia sits at the foundation of the global nitrogen value chain, powering fertilizer production, refrigeration and emission-control systems across the UAE and GCC.
Ammonia is the essential nitrogen source for urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulphate and NPK compound fertilizer production — the backbone of global agricultural productivity.
Catalytic oxidation of ammonia (the Ostwald process) is the industrial route to nitric acid, which feeds ammonium nitrate fertilizer and explosives production chains.
Ammonia (R-717) is widely used as a refrigerant in large-scale industrial cold storage, food processing and district cooling systems due to its high thermodynamic efficiency and zero ozone-depletion potential.
Aqueous ammonia and urea-derived ammonia are used as reducing agents in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to control nitrogen oxide emissions from power plants and industrial boilers.
Ammonia is combined with chlorine to form chloramines, a stable disinfectant used in municipal water treatment systems to maintain residual protection throughout distribution networks.
Aqueous ammonia is a key active ingredient in household and industrial cleaning formulations, and serves as a pH-adjusting and neutralising agent across chemical processing applications.

FAQ
Ammonia is used primarily as the nitrogen feedstock for urea and ammonium nitrate fertilizer production; as the raw material for nitric acid manufacturing; as an industrial refrigerant (R-717); as a reducing agent in NOx emission-control (SCR) systems; in water treatment for chloramine disinfection; and as an active ingredient in cleaning formulations across the UAE and GCC.
The CAS number for Ammonia (NH₃) is 7664-41-7. For transport purposes, anhydrous ammonia is classified under UN 1005 and aqueous ammonia solutions (10–35%) under UN 2672.
Anhydrous ammonia is pure NH₃ stored as a pressurised liquefied gas with no water content, used directly as a fertilizer or as feedstock for urea, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate production. Aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) is NH₃ dissolved in water, typically at 20–30% concentration, used in cleaning products, water treatment and applications where handling a pressurised gas is impractical.

Ammonia (R-717) has outstanding thermodynamic properties — high latent heat of vaporisation and excellent heat-transfer efficiency — making it one of the most energy-efficient industrial refrigerants available. It has zero ozone-depletion potential and negligible global warming potential, making it increasingly favoured over synthetic HFC refrigerants for large-scale cold storage, food processing and district cooling applications.
Yes. Ammonia is a toxic, corrosive and flammable gas. Direct contact causes severe skin and eye burns, and inhalation of concentrated vapour can cause serious respiratory damage. It is also classified as acutely toxic to aquatic life. Handling anhydrous ammonia requires trained personnel, pressure-rated equipment and appropriate PPE. Always consult the batch-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every shipment.
