Monoammonium Phosphate-MAP 25kg

Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is a highly water-soluble chemical compound ((NH_{4}H_{2}PO_{4})) primarily used as a dual-nutrient agricultural fertilizer and an active ingredient in dry-powder fire extinguishers.

1. Agriculture and Horticulture
MAP is one of the most widely used dry and liquid fertilisers.
It provides plants with highly absorbable forms of Nitrogen and Phosphorus:
Starter Fertiliser: Because it has a low nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio and an acidic pH, it is ideal to use at seed germination or during early root development without damaging young seedlings.
Soil Optimisation: It is highly effective in alkaline soils (pH > 7.0) where it helps lower the soil pH, increasing nutrient uptake.
Application Methods: It is applied via fertigation (injected into irrigation systems), foliar feeding, or direct soil blending for crops and pastures.

2. Fire Suppression
MAP is a principal component of ABC-rated dry chemical fire extinguishers.
When discharged, the powder melts and forms a sticky coating over the combustible material, smothering the flame and cutting off oxygen.

3. Food and Beverage IndustryIn food manufacturing, MAP acts as a leavening agent in baked goods, a dough conditioner, and yeast food in fermentation processes.

4. Flame Retardant and IndustrialBeyond extinguishers, MAP is heavily utilised in fire-retardant coatings used on commercial fabrics, wood, and paper.
It is also utilised in water treatment facilities and as a pH regulator in pharmaceutical formulations.

5. Manufacturing and Specialty Uses

Flame Retardant Impregnation: Industrial operations spray or soak timber, paper, and textiles in MAP solutions to dramatically lower their flammability index.
Animal Feed Supplements: It is carefully blended into livestock feed formulas to provide animals with metabolically vital phosphorus and protein-building nitrogen.
Crystal Growing Kits: Because of its rapid, highly geometric crystallisation properties, it is the primary non-toxic compound packaged inside consumer science and educational crystal-growing hobby kits.
