L.C.HYDROSOLUBLE POTASSIUM SULFATE

(with a low content of chlorures)
CEE FERTILIZER

L.C. Hydrosoluble Potassium Sulfate is obtained through a particular exclusively inorganic process which assures the absence of toxic and damaging substances and which gives the product its particular properties.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE PRODUCT

Chemical name: Potassium Sulfate
EINECS no. 231-915-5
CAS no. 7778-80-5

PROPERTIES

L.C. Hydrosoluble Potassium Sulfate has the 52% K2O typical titre (corresponding to 96.1% K2SO4) and a very low content of chlorures, equal to 0.7% Cl (corresponding to 1.5% KCl). Moreover it is completely soluble in water without any undissolved residues left and it presents a specifically studied particle-size analysis in order to make its dissolution fast.
We remind you that according to law potassium sulphate have to have a 47% K2O minimum titre and a maximum content of chlorures of 3% Cl in order to be defined and commercialised as a fertilizer.

USES

This type of product is suitable for being used in agriculture as a fertilizer, in particular by the ones who use ferti-irrigation methods. However its potential uses are wider, for example:
• Fertilizer in agriculture;
• Hardener in the production of cements and plasters;
• Detergent additive;
• Raw material for chemical synthesis.

TRANSIT PACKING, STORAGE, HANDLING

L.C. Hydrosoluble Potassium Sulfate is provided by big bags with a capacity of 1300 Kg or by bags with a capacity of 50 Kg.
As long as it isn’t a dangerous product any particular caution for its usage is provided. However for the handling and any other information about users' health, look at the Safety Form which have to be requested during the first order agreement.
