Ammonium phosphate dibasic

Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is a white, crystalline, odorless, water-soluble solid with low volatility and no defined melting point—it decomposes above approximately 155 °C, releasing ammonia. It is an inorganic ammonium salt and a major source of both nitrogen and phosphorus in fertilizer formulations. DAP serves primarily as a high-analysis phosphorus fertilizer in agriculture and is also used as a flame retardant in cellulose-based materials and as a nutrient source in yeast fermentation and microbial culture media. Its principal application areas are agrochemicals and industrial fire safety products, with minor use in food additives and water treatment.

(1) Diammonium phosphate is industrially used as feed additives, flame retardants and the ingredients of the fire extinguishing agent.(2) It can be used as analysis reagents and buffer(3) It is a widely applicable efficient fertilizer for vegetables, fruits, rice and wheat.(4) It can be used as water softeners; yeast foodstuffs, and so on.(5) In the food industry, it can be used as food leavening agent, dough regulator, yeast food, brewing fermentation additives as well as being used as a buffer.(6) It can be used as ruminant feed additives.(7) It can be used for printing plate, medicine, fire prevention, electronic tubes.(8) Fertilizer level is mainly used for high concentrations nitrogen and phosphorus compound fertilizer. The industrial grade can be used for impregnation of wood and fabric to increase its durability; it can be used as dry powder fire extinguishing agent, fluorescent phosphor; also used for the manufacturing of printing plate, tube, ceramic and china, wastewater biochemical treatment; military use it as the flame retardants of rocket engine motor insulation materials.
It appears as colorless transparent monoclinic crystal or white powder, being soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol, acetone and ammonia.
