Monoammonium Phosphate MAP 12-61-0

TMAP with N:P:K 12:61:0, Food Grade, Tech Grade and electronic Grade Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP): Chemical Property: Monoammonium phosphate (MAP) is a chemical compound with the formula NH4H2PO4. It is a white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water. MAP is an acidic salt with a low pH, making it suitable for applications where acidic conditions are desired. It contains both ammonium (NH4+) and phosphate (H2PO4-) ions, making it a source of both nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. Applications: Monoammonium phosphate has a wide range of applications in various industries due to its properties as a fertilizer, fire retardant, and food additive. Agriculture and Fertilizers: MAP is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture. It serves as a source of both nitrogen and phosphorus, essential nutrients for plant growth. The high solubility of MAP ensures that plants can readily absorb these nutrients, promoting healthy root development, flowering, and fruiting. It is particularly beneficial for crops that require early-season nitrogen and phosphorus supplementation. Fire Retardant: MAP is also used as a fire retardant in both the agriculture and forestry sectors. When applied to plants or materials, it releases ammonium and phosphate compounds that can act as flame inhibitors, reducing the flammability of the treated material. This makes it valuable for preventing and controlling wildfires and protecting valuable crops. Food Additive: In the food industry, MAP is used as a leavening agent in baking. It reacts with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to produce carbon dioxide gas, which helps dough rise and gives baked goods their desired texture. It is commonly found in baking powders and self-rising flour. Industrial Applications: MAP is used in various industrial processes, including water treatment. It can be used to reduce the pH of water and control scale formation in boilers and cooling systems. It is also used in some metal cleaning and finishing operations. Nutrition Supplements: MAP is sometimes used in the formulation of nutritional supplements, especially in cases where a controlled release of both nitrogen and phosphorus is needed, such as in plant fertilizers for hydroponic systems or aquarium plant care. pH Adjustment: Due to its acidic nature, MAP can be used to adjust the pH of various solutions, including in some laboratory settings and industrial processes where maintaining a specific pH range is crucial. Monoammonium phosphate's versatility stems from its ability to provide essential nutrients, modify fire behavior, and contribute to various chemical reactions across multiple industries. However, its usage should be managed responsibly to ensure optimal results and minimal environmental impact.
