CAS 63718-65-0

Ammonium pelargonate

Description:

Ammonium pelargonate, with the CAS number 63718-65-0, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of ammonium salts. It is derived from pelargonic acid, which is a fatty acid with a nine-carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications. Ammonium pelargonate is often utilized in the formulation of agricultural products, particularly as a surfactant or emulsifier, enhancing the effectiveness of herbicides and pesticides. Its surfactant properties allow it to reduce surface tension, improving the spread and adhesion of active ingredients on plant surfaces. Additionally, it may have applications in the cosmetic and personal care industries due to its emulsifying capabilities. Safety data indicates that, like many ammonium salts, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Overall, ammonium pelargonate is valued for its functional properties in both agricultural and industrial formulations.
