Phosphate Monoammonique

Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is a white, crystalline, odorless powder that is non-combustible. It is moderately soluble in water and releases ammonia in aqueous solution. Due to its high phosphorus and nitrogen content, MAP is widely used in various industrial and agricultural applications.

Applications:

1. Agriculture:

   • Used as a fast-release fertilizer, providing an essential source of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) for crop growth.
   • Ideal for crops requiring a high initial phosphorus supply, promoting root development and flowering.
   • Suitable for fertigation and direct seeding applications.

2. Food Industry:

   • Used as a food additive (E342) to regulate acidity and improve the texture of bakery products, beverages, and dairy products.
   • Commonly used in baking powder to enhance fermentation.

3. Water Treatment:

   • Acts as a scale and corrosion control agent in cooling systems and industrial boilers.
   • Used in the precipitation of heavy metals in industrial wastewater treatment.

4. Pharmaceutical Industry:

   • Used in pharmaceutical formulations as a buffering agent and pH regulator.

5. Other Industrial Applications:

   • Used in detergent manufacturing to enhance cleaning efficiency.
   • Employed as a flame retardant in certain materials due to its fire-resistant properties.
