Finoric LLC Ammonium Carbonate FCC

CAS Number
10361-29-2

Finoric Ammonium Carbonate FCC can be found as a white powder or in hard, white, or translucent masses. It is made up of varying amounts of ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) and ammonium carbamate (NH2COONH4). Because of the loss of ammonia and carbon dioxide, it becomes opaque when exposed to air and eventually transforms into porous lumps or a white powder of ammonium bicarbonate. In about 4 mL of water, one gram dissolves slowly. Litmus tests show that its solutions are alkaline.
