Monopotassium Phosphate

Monopotassium phosphate (MKP) appears as a white, crystalline, odorless powder, highly soluble in water. It is an inorganic salt composed of potassium and phosphate, known for its high purity and chemical stability. MKP is a highly effective phosphatic and potassic fertilizer widely used in nutritional and industrial formulations.

Applications:

1. Agriculture and Hydroponics:

   • Used as a water-soluble fertilizer, rich in phosphorus and potassium, promoting plant growth and root development.
   • Ideal for drip irrigation systems and hydroponic farming.
   • Enhances flowering and improves the quality of fruits and vegetables.

2. Food Industry:

   • Employed as a pH regulator and food additive (E340) in beverages, dairy products, confectionery, and bakery items.
   • Commonly used in baking powders and energy drinks due to its ability to provide essential potassium and phosphate.

3. Pharmaceutical Sector:

   • Incorporated into dietary supplements to correct potassium and phosphate deficiencies.
   • Used in intravenous solutions and pharmaceutical formulations for electrolyte balance.

4. Industrial Applications:

   • Acts as a buffering agent in detergent formulations and industrial cleaning products.
   • Applied in textile processing and water treatment as a pH stabilizer.
