Potassium sulfate/Potassium sulphate potash fertilizer
Potassium sulfate is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula K2SO4, which is a white crystalline powder. The appearance of agricultural potassium sulfate is mostly light yellow, the hygroscopicity of potassium sulfate is small, it is not easy to agglomerate, the physical properties are good, and the application is convenient. It is a good water-soluble potassium fertilizer. It is the main raw material for making chlorine-free nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ternary compound fertilizers. It can be used as fertilizer directly, applied to a variety of soil and crops.to a variety of soil and crops. It can also be used as food additives, as dough conditioner etc.

2. APPLICATION
The dominant use of potassium sulfate is as a fertilizer. K2SO4 does not contain chloride, which can be harmful to some crops. Potassium sulfate is preferred for these crops, which include tobacco and some fruits and vegetables. Crops that are less sensitive may still require potassium sulfate for optimal growth if the soil accumulates chloride from irrigation water.
The crude salt is also used occasionally in the manufacture of glass. Potassium sulfate is also used as a flash reducer in artillery propellant charges. It reduces muzzle flash, flareback and blast overpressure.
It is sometimes used as an alternative blast media similar to soda in soda blasting as it is harder and similarly water-soluble.
Sometimes, when put over a fire, potassium sulfate can make it purple.
3.Transportation & Storage:
Kept in dry and place, avoid moisture, water, rain and fire, normal transportation.
When ammonium sulphate in the transportation and outdoor storage, It should be keep Away from moisture, insolation, rain & high temperature. Should storage in flatness ground within a ventilating low-temperature dry warehouse. In order to prevent deterioration, In the same warehouse, strictly prohibit store nearby alkaline substances, such as lime, cement and plant ash. The stacking height should be less than 7 meters.
