Sulfamic Acid, otherwise known as amidosulfonic acid or amidosulfuric acid, is a dry, non-volatile, non-hygroscopic, stable solid. It is soluble in water and forms a strongly acidic aqueous solution comparable in acidity to the common strong mineral acids, but it can be safely handled and stored in its dry form.
Sulfamic Acid is used to reduce the pH of drilling fluids requiring adjustment prior to disposal. Sulfamic Acid has many advantages over its alternatives, such as ease of handling, solubility and low corrosiveness.
