Application:
In agriculture, Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) is a high effective K and P compound fertilizer. It contains totally 86% fertilizer elements, used as a basic raw material for N, P, and K compound fertilizer. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) can be used on fruit, vegetables, cotton and tobacco, tea, and economic crops, To improve product quality, and greatly increase production.
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used as a construction material. Also used as raw material for producing potassium pyrophosphate.
In food, Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) is used as a food additive such as buffer agent, sequestering binder, yeast dietary agent flavor, enhancers, dietary supplement, ferment, supplement, expansion, agent, etc. and as Ingredients in emulsifying salts for processed cheese products, as well as components of phosphate mixes for processed meat products.
