Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Ammonium metavanadate (Ammonium vanadate)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-045-2)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 99 percent or higher. Meticulously manufactured and verified under Kemaus strict laboratory quality control standards to ensure exceptionally low trace contamination of foreign heavy metals, chlorides, and sulfates. This ultra-pure chemical baseline prevents unwanted secondary reactions and guarantees premium accuracy for analytical workflows.
Physical Properties: Odorless, fine white crystalline powder or slightly yellowish crystalline powder.
Solubility: Sparingly soluble in cold water (solubility increases significantly in hot water); readily soluble in dilute ammonia solutions; practically insoluble in alcohol.
Key Use: Heavily utilized as a primary analytical reagent for preparing ammonium phosphovanadomolybdate solutions, a benchmark standard matrix used to detect and quantify phosphate concentrations in environmental water, agricultural soil, and fertilizer laboratories. Commonly applied as a selective reagent for colorimetric determination of alkaloid profiles in pharmaceutical and botanical R&D. Also functions as an effective catalyst in organic synthesis and serves as an essential precursor for manufacturing advanced vanadium-based compounds in materials science.

Safety & Hazards (Critical & Highly Toxic)

Classification: Fatal if inhaled. Toxic if swallowed. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation. Suspected of causing genetic defects. May damage fertility or the unborn child.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact triggers immediate severe stinging irritation, painful watering, and localized tissue redness. Inhalation of fine airborne dust particles is extremely hazardous, causing violent coughing, acute chest tightness, throat inflammation, and severe respiratory tract distress. Long-term cumulative exposure carries critical systemic internal organ toxicity.
First Aid Measures: Flush affected eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If dust is inhaled, immediately move the victim to fresh air. Seek urgent medical emergency evaluation immediately.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Highly Toxic Substance. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a dedicated chemical safety isolation cabinet. Keep in a cool, strictly dry, and well-ventilated dedicated space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep completely away from strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, and high humidity.
Precautions: Comprehensive specialized PPE is mandatory, including chemical-resistant laboratory gloves, protective safety goggles, a protective lab coat, and a high-efficiency particulate respirator. Handle strictly and exclusively within a properly functioning laboratory fume hood to completely eliminate the risk of dust inhalation.
