Product Description
Liquor Ammonia (25%) is a water-based solution of ammonia gas at 25% concentration, chemically known as Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH). This clear, colorless liquid with a pungent ammonia odor is widely used in cleaning formulations, refrigeration systems, chemical manufacturing, water treatment, food processing, and mining industries. It acts as a strong alkaline agent that neutralizes acids and removes dirt and grime effectively. Zenco Chemicals supplies this product reliably across East African countries including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
