Application:
- Agriculture and Horticulture:
– Fertilizer: Dipotassium phosphate (DKP) can be used as a water-soluble fertilizer due to its high potassium and phosphate content. It provides essential nutrients for plant growth, promoting root development, flowering, and fruiting. It is particularly beneficial for crops that require significant amounts of potassium and phosphorus, such as fruits, vegetables, and flowering plants.
2. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
– Emulsifier and Stabilizer: Dipotassium phosphate is employed in cosmetics and personal care products, such as creams, lotions, and hair care products, to facilitate the mixing of oil and water-based ingredients and stabilize the formulations.
3.. Industrial Applications:
– pH Control: Dipotassium phosphate is used in various industrial processes as a pH regulator and buffering agent. It helps maintain stable pH levels in solutions and production environments.
– Metal Cleaning and Descaling: Dipotassium phosphate can be a cleaning and descaling agent in metal treatment, electroplating, and industrial equipment maintenance.
Packing: In PP+PE bags of 25kgs net each, we can provide packages according to the customer’s requirement.
Storage: Store at a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place
Shelf life: 24 months.
