Ammonium Carbonate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Diammonium Carbonate
- Carbonic Acid Diammonium Salt
- E503(i)
- (NH4)2CO3
Ammonium carbonate supplier for food, technical and laboratory buyers in Malaysia. Also known as diammonium carbonate, carbonic acid diammonium salt or E503(i), with formula (NH4)2CO3, this white crystalline salt is selected for leavening, food processing and industrial duties.
Commercial grades include food grade powder for bakery leavening and food pH work, technical grade for industrial formulation and textile dyeing, and reagent grade for laboratory use. Form is typically a white crystalline powder or solid; assay and impurity limits are confirmed against the specification you require.
Bakery and food processors specify food-grade ammonium carbonate (E503(i)) for low-moisture leavening systems such as biscuits and crackers. Textile, chemical and laboratory users select technical or reagent grades for dyeing, synthesis and analytical work. Ammonium bicarbonate remains a separate product.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Ammonium Carbonate applications
Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place and protect from moisture and heat, which can cause decomposition and caking. Control dust during handling and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about ammonium carbonate
What is ammonium carbonate used for?
Buyers commonly specify it as a leavening agent in low-moisture bakery products, for food pH adjustment, in textile dyeing and printing, and as a process or laboratory chemical. State the application so the correct grade can be matched.
Is food grade ammonium carbonate the same as E503(i)?
Food-grade ammonium carbonate is identified as E503(i) when supplied to a food additive specification. It is not the same as ammonium bicarbonate (E503(ii)). Request food grade and any additive limits your process needs.
Which grade should I request: food, technical or reagent?
Food grade is for bakery and other food processing under E503(i) or an equivalent food specification. Technical grade suits industrial formulation, textiles and general process chemistry. Reagent grade is selected for laboratory and analytical work.
Is ammonium carbonate the same as ammonium bicarbonate?
No. Ammonium carbonate is a separate salt, also known as diammonium carbonate or E503(i). Ammonium bicarbonate is a different product (E503(ii)) and should be enquired on its own page or specification.
What form is usually supplied?
Commercial material is typically a white crystalline powder or solid. Particle size and packing depend on grade and source, so state any form or handling preference in the enquiry.
What details are needed for an ammonium carbonate price enquiry?
Provide grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any product documents so the quotation can cover the full requirement.
