Sulfamic acid is a colourless, water-soluble compound with the formula H3NSO3. It melts at 205 °C before decomposing at higher temperatures to water, sulfur trioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen. It is used as an acidic cleaning agent, replacing the more volatile and irritatingchloric acid.
About Sulfamic acid in brief
Sulfamic acid is a colourless, water-soluble compound with the formula H3NSO3. It melts at 205 °C before decomposing at higher temperatures to water, sulfur trioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen. Sulfamates are derivatives of sulfamic acid. It is used as an acidic cleaning agent, replacing the more volatile and irritatingchloric acid, which is often a component of household descaling agents, such as thickening agents and detergents. It can also be used as a precursor to sweet-tasting compounds such as cyclohexylamine and acesulfame potassium.
It has been used in the design of many types of therapeutic agents such as antibiotics, nucleosidenucleotide human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase inhibitors, HIV protease inhibitors, anticancer drugs, antiepileptic drugs, and weight loss loss drugs. If erroneously used in household use, it is preferable to hydrochloric acids due to its intrinsic safety and low volatility.
