Posted by Priyanka Thakare on July 26th, 2019

Sulfamic acid is a white crystalline or powdered solid. It is odorless and hygroscopic. Sulfamic acid is water soluble. It is a pure acid, which can form pellets when mixed with an inert binding substance. Pellets are used in comparatively higher number of applications. They are specially used for producing customized sulfamic acid pellets with specific composition. Sulfamic acid can be considered an intermediary compound between sulfuric acid and sulfamide. Sulfamic acid is reported to be four to six times more effective than urea. Furthermore, sulfamic acid is mostly preferred over urea for excess nitrite removal application.
