Detailed Product Description:

White crystalline powder, odorless.  Non-volatile, non-hygroscopic.

Combustible.  Soluble in water.  Slightly soluble in organic solvents.

Commonly used for metal and ceramic cleaning, hard-water scale

removal, and as a stabilizing agent for chlorine and hypochlorites

in swimming pools.

Sulfamic acid, also known as amidosulfonic acid, amidosulfuric acid,

aminosulfonic acid, and sulfamidic acid, is a member of the following

series of compounds: H2SO4 (sulfuric acid), H3NSO3 (sulfamic acid),

H4N2SO2 (sulfamide), H5N3SO, and H6N4S.

Sulfamic acid is considered a weak acid, Ka = 1.01 x 10−1.  Because the

solid is non-hygroscopic, it is used as a standard in acidometry (quantitative

assays of acid content).

The behavior of H3NSO3 resembles that of urea, (H2N)2CO, in some ways.

Both feature amino groups linked to electron-withdrawing centers that

can participate in delocalized bonding.  Both liberate ammonia upon heating

in water.

Applications

Sulfamic acid is most often used as an acidic cleaning agent, typically for

metals and ceramics.  It is a replacement for hydrochloric acid for the

removal of rust.  In households, it is often found as a descaling agent in

detergents used for removal of limescale. 

Precautions:
