Product Description – Ammonium Bicarbonate

Ammonium Bicarbonate, with the chemical formula NH₄HCO₃, is a white crystalline powder with good water solubility. It decomposes when heated, releasing ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water, a property that makes food-grade material useful as a leavening agent in selected baked products.

It is also used as a nitrogen source in agriculture, a processing aid in manufacturing, and a raw material in selected chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, leather, and ceramic applications.

At Sanvil Industries Ltd, we supply quality Ammonium Bicarbonate for different commercial and industrial requirements. Customers can request the appropriate grade and specification for their intended application, with reliable supply, competitive pricing, and delivery throughout East Africa.
