Di – Ammonium Phosphate (DAP / DAP light)

Product characteristics

  • Total Nitrogen (N): 18% min.
  • Ammonium Nitrogen (N): 18% min.
  • Neutral Ammonium Citrate and water-soluble Phosphate (P2O5): 46% min.
  • Water-soluble Phosphate (P2O5): 42% min.
  • Particle size distribution (2-4 mm): 90% min.

Diammonium phosphate in the form of hydrogen phosphate is used in the agricultural sector, where it used as a compound fertilizer. Because of its nutrient composition, DAP is also referred to as 18-46-0 in the trade.

Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is a highly water-soluble nitrogen phosphate used in a number of multi-component fertilizer mixtures as well as in directly applied compound fertilizers. Aside from monoammonium phosphate (MAP), it is the world’s most commonly used phosphate fertilizer. Phosphates are mined in the form of rock phosphate. Phosphates react with sulphuric acid to produce phosphoric acid, which in turn reacts with ammonia. This process converts the poorly water-soluble rock phosphate into a water-soluble phosphate fertilizer that is easily assimilated by plants. DAP is a grey or beige-grey granular substance. DAP is sometimes impregnated with a dust-suppressant oil, giving it a dark brown colouring.

 

Mono – Ammonium Phosphate (MAP 1252 / 1050 / 1046)

Product characteristics

  • Total Nitrogen (N): 11% min.
  • Ammoniacal Nitrogen (N): 11% min.
  • Neutral-ammonic citric acid and water soluble phosphate (P2O5): 52% min.
  • Water soluble phosphate (P2O5): 48% min.
  • Granulation (1-4mm): 90% min.

Mono ammonium phosphate or MAP is used as a complex fertilizer containing nitrogen (11%) and phosphate (52%). Due to its composition it is also called 11-52-0.

MAP is a water soluble mineral phosphate fertilizer, which is used either as a raw material for several complex fertilizers (like NP and NPK) or for direct application. Together with DAP it is the most commonly applied phosphate fertilizer globally. Both are derived from rock phosphate. Rock phosphate is mined mainly in opencast mining. It provides a low water solubility in its natural form, therefore it is unavailable for plants. With the reaction of rock phosphate and sulphuric acid phosphoric acid is formed. The phosphoric acid is reacted with ammonia in order to create several ammonium phosphate fertilizers, such as MAP. We trade with all kind of MAP from different origins, concentrations and in different colors.

 

Triple Superphosphate (TSP)

Product characteristics

  • Water- and citric acid soluble phosphate (P2O5): 46,0% min.
  • Water soluble phosphate (P2O5): 43,0% min.
  • Free acid (by water): 3,5% max.
  • Moisture: 4,0% max.
  • Granulation (1-4 mm): 90,0% min.

Triple Super Phosphate is a popular source of Phosphate nutrient in legumes (peas, lentils and beans) which do not require additional Nitrogen fertilization.

TSP is a highly concentrated and water soluble greyish, granular phosphate fertilizer with a P2O5 availability of more than 46%. To produce TSP, Rock Phosphate is mined and treated with Sulfuric Acid. The result is Phosphoric Acid which gets reacted again with the Rock Phosphate in order to obtain the high concentration of P2O5 in the fertilizer. The active ingredient of TSP is (Mono-)Calcium Phosphate. We can offer different qualities from different origins to meet all customer demands.

 

Single Superphosphate (SSP)

Singlesuperphosphate (SSP) with a phosphate content of 18-22% P2O5 is a very costeffective and commonly used fertilizer. Because of its sulphur content of 10-12% it provides a good sulphur basic supply to crops.

SSP is produced by treating rock phosphate (apatite or phosphorite) with sulfuric acid. Depending on the origin the product comes with 18-22% phosphate. SSP is a light-grey to grey granule with a granulometry of 90% 1-4 mm.
