Packaging & Availability
- Product Grades
Ammonium Acetate is available in pharmaceutical and technical grades.
- Packaging Information
Ammonium Acetate crystal is packed in 20kg polyethylene lined paper bags. The solutions are available in bulk.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 3 years
- Stability
Pharmaceutical grade Ammonium Acetate is stable for 3 years from date of production. Physical stability and appearance may change before the end of shelf-life if not stored single-stacked in closed original packaging, dry and at room temperature.
Ammonium Acetate is a "wet" crystalline product, meaning it is not uncommon for the material to harden/cake. The material can be broken up manually. The product is very hygroscopic.
