Monopotassium Phosphate CAS 7778-77-0

Monopotassium Phosphate (CAS 7778-77-0) is a water-soluble inorganic salt utilized as a high-efficiency phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in agricultural fertigation systems and a buffering agent in food processing. Chemically identified as Potassium dihydrogen phosphate or MKP, this colorless crystalline solid functions to lower pH levels in alkaline mixtures and provide rapidly absorbed nutrients for root development. As a high-purity Potassium acid phosphate source, it is integrated into hydroponic nutrient solutions and foliar sprays to enhance flowering and fruit quality. We ensure bulk supply capabilities for this material, providing access to competitive factory pricing and customized specifications to meet specific solubility and mesh size requirements. Full technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is available to support compliance and safety protocols.

Product Description

Monopotassium Phosphate is a white, odorless crystalline powder that dissolves rapidly in water. It acts as a high-quality compound fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio typically equivalent to 0-52-34. Due to its low salt index and high purity (≥99%), it is exceptionally safe for foliar applications and drip irrigation systems, posing no risk of leaf burn or root damage when used correctly.

Beyond agriculture, it is widely used in the chemical industry as a buffering agent, a culture medium agent for fermentation, and a raw material for producing potassium meta-phosphate.

Applications

  1. Agriculture (Fertilizer):
    • Foliar Spray: Used to supplement P and K during critical growth stages (blooming and fruit setting) to improve fruit quality and sugar content.
    • Fertigation: Ideal for hydroponics and drip irrigation due to its excellent solubility and acidic pH, which helps keep drippers clean.
    • Fungicide Effect: When mixed correctly, it can help control powdery mildew on certain crops.
  2. Industrial Fermentation: Used as a nutritional agent and buffering regulator in the fermentation of yeast, bacteria, and other microorganisms.
  3. Chemical Industry: Acts as a buffering agent for pH regulation in chemical reactions.
  4. Food Processing: (If Food Grade specified) Used as a sequestering agent, fermentation food additive, and flavoring agent.

Storage Conditions

  • Environment: Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated warehouse.
  • Moisture Control: The product is stable but should be kept away from water and high humidity to prevent caking.
  • Packaging: Keep bags tightly closed when not in use.
  • Segregation: Store separately from toxic or hazardous materials.

Safety Precautions

  • General: MKP is considered safe and non-toxic for general handling.
  • Protection: Wear standard industrial protective gear (gloves, safety glasses) to prevent dust irritation.
  • Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with water if dust enters the eyes.
  • Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.
  • Inhalation: Avoid breathing dust; use in a ventilated area.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    Is this product compatible with hydroponic nutrient formulations?

    A: Yes, this material is typically applied in hydroponics and greenhouse cultivation as a primary source of phosphorus and potassium, free from chloride and nitrogen, making it ideal for precision nutrient management.
