Ammonia, also known as ammonia solution, is an aqueous solution of ammonia for material-oriented cleaning, degreasing, woodworking and surface preparation. At DutchChems, ammonia is available in two concentrations: 5% and 25%.

Ammonia 5% is a lower concentration and is also called household ammonia. This variant is suitable for general cleaning and degreasing applications on suitable materials. Ammonia 25% is a concentrated ammonia solution for professional use and must always be diluted with water.
