Sourcing Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP)? ChemicalDekho connects you with leading manufacturers like Coromandel International and ICL. Access high-purity crystalline MAP for agriculture and industrial use.
MAP (CAS 7722-76-1) is a critical source of Phosphorus (61% P2O5) and Nitrogen (12%) for high-value crops. It is the most popular 100% water-soluble phosphorus fertilizer for drip irrigation. Industrially, it is the primary active ingredient in ABC Fire Extinguishers, where it melts to smother flames. It is also used as a flame retardant for wood and paper.
Listings verify the P2O5 content and pH stability for fertilization and fire safety standards.

Generally considered non-toxic. Dust may cause mild respiratory and eye irritation. Slightly acidic in solution.
MAP (12-61-0) is acidic (pH ~4.5) and 100% water-soluble, used for drip irrigation. DAP (18-46-0) is alkaline (pH ~8) and less soluble, used for soil application. MAP is preferred for hard water regions.
When sprayed on a fire, MAP powder melts at low temperatures (~190°C) to form a sticky liquid that coats the fuel, blocking oxygen and stopping the fire.
Food Grade MAP is used as a yeast nutrient in wine making and bread, but technical or fertilizer grades are not safe for consumption.
Greenhouse grade MAP contains 61% Phosphorus (as P2O5), the highest of any standard crystalline fertilizer.
