Frequently asked questions

Both are important ammonium phosphate fertilizers; the main difference lies in:

  • Various chemical formulasMAP is NH₄H₂PO₄ (monoammonium phosphate), DAP is (NH₄)₂HPO₄ (diammonium phosphate)
  • Various nitrogen contentsMAP contains N≥12%, DAP contains N≥21%, nitrogen content in DAP is higher
  • Various phosphorus contentsP₂O₅ content in MAP ≥61%, in DAP ≥53%; phosphorus content is higher in MAP.
  • Various pH valuesAqueous MAP solution is more acidic (pH about 4.0-5.0), DAP is slightly alkaline.

Products of the two technologies have their own characteristics:

  • Main ContentThermal MAP ≥99%, wet MAP ≥98%, thermal method has higher purity.
  • Phosphorus ContentThermal P₂O₅≥61%, Wet P₂O₅≥60.5%.
  • Water-insoluble substancesThermal method ≤0.1%, wet method ≤0.3%, thermal method is purer.
  • Recommended ChoiceFor general agricultural use, the wet process is recommended as it is cost-effective; for applications requiring high purity, the thermal process is suitable.

Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate has significant advantages as a flame retardant:

  • High-efficiency fire protectionWhen heated, it decomposes releasing ammonia and phosphoric acid, forming a protective layer that isolates oxygen.
  • Broad ApplicabilityCan be used for flame retardant treatment of wood, paper, textiles, and other materials.
  • Special applicationUsed as a damping agent for match heads and candle wicks to prevent re-ignition.
  • Powdered fire extinguishing agentis an important component of powder fire extinguishers

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

  • Impurity content limitFood grade imposes stricter requirements on impurities such as arsenic, lead, heavy metals.
  • Moisture RequirementsFood-grade moisture ≤0.2%, stricter than industrial-grade (≤0.5%).
  • Execution StandardFood grade conforms to GB 25569-2010, industrial grade conforms to HG/T4133-2010.
  • Area of applicationFood grade is used in food processing, fermentation industry, etc.; industrial grade is used in agriculture, as a flame retardant, in feed, etc.
