Product description

Product overview

Diammonium phosphate (DAP), chemical formula (NH4)2HPO4, CAS 7783-28-0, molecular weight 132.0. It is an important inorganic chemical raw material and a high-concentration binary compound fertilizer (NP). The product is white granular crystals, relative density 1.619, melting point 155°C, easily soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol. Gradually loses ammonia in air, forming monoammonium phosphate.

Key Advantages

  • High concentration of nutrientsP₂O₅ ≥53%, N ≥21%, total nutrient content reaches 74%, making it a high-quality raw material for preparing high-concentration compound fertilizers.
  • Chlorine-Free FertilizerDoes not contain chloride ions, suitable for chlorine-sensitive crops (e.g., tobacco, potato, etc.)
  • Available in two versionsTwo specifications are available: industrial grade (HG/T4132-2010) and food grade (GB 30613-2014).

Frequently Asked Questions

Both are important phosphorus-ammonium fertilizers; the main differences are as follows:

  • Various chemical formulasDAP is (NH4)2HPO4 (diammonium phosphate), MAP is NH4H2PO4 (monoammonium phosphate)
  • Various nitrogen contentsDAP contains N≥21%, MAP contains N≥12%, nitrogen content in DAP is higher
  • Various pH valuesDAP aqueous solution has a slightly alkaline reaction (pH approx. 7.8-8.2), MAP aqueous solution is acidic (pH approx. 4.5-5).
  • Nutrient ConcentrationTotal nutrient content (N+P₂O₅) in DAP is about 74%, in MAP about 73-75%.
  • Area of applicationDAP is more suitable as a basal fertilizer and for situations requiring supplemental nitrogen; MAP is more suitable as a top dressing with phosphorus dominance.

The chemical properties of diammonium phosphate determine its stability in air:

  • Ammonia EmissionAmmonium ions (NH₄⁺) in DAP gradually decompose in air releasing ammonia, converting to monoammonium phosphate.
  • Storage methodStore in sealed packaging in a cool, dry place; avoid contact with moist air.
  • Application recommendationsAfter opening the package, use as soon as possible; unused product must be sealed tightly.
  • Important NotesAvoid storage together with alkaline substances, as this accelerates ammonia evaporation

Diammonium phosphate has significant advantages as a flame retardant:

  • High-efficiency flame retardantWhen heated, it decomposes releasing ammonia and phosphoric acid, forming a protective layer that isolates oxygen.
  • Broad spectrum of applicationCan be used for flame retardant treatment of various materials such as wood, paper, and textiles.
  • Good compatibility with resinsCan be used as an additive in fire retardant coatings, compatible with various resin systems.
  • Raw Material AdvantagesIt is an important raw material for the production of high-polymerization ammonium polyphosphate, which is an excellent flame retardant.

The main difference lies in impurity content standards and application areas:

  • Impurity limitsFood grade imposes stricter requirements on impurities such as arsenic, heavy metals (e.g., As≤0.0003%).
  • Execution StandardFood grade conforms to GB 30613-2014, industrial grade conforms to HG/T4132-2010.
  • Field of ApplicationFood grade is used in food processing, pharmaceutical production, etc.; technical grade is used in agriculture, flame retardant production, etc.
  • PriceFood grade is more expensive due to higher purity requirements
