Ammonium Sulphate (NH₄)₂SO₄

Ammonium Sulphate (NH₄)₂SO₄ is a widely used inorganic fertilizer and chemical compound rich in nitrogen (21%) and sulfur (24%), both essential nutrients for plant growth and soil health. It enhances chlorophyll synthesis, boosts yield, and supports protein formation in plants.

At Cavin Resource, we supply agricultural-grade and industrial-grade Ammonium Sulphate, available in crystalline, granular, or caprolactam grades, depending on your application. Our product is manufactured through the caprolactam byproduct process and synthetic chemical neutralization, ensuring consistency, high solubility, and optimal purity.

Perfect for use in soil fertilization, chemical synthesis, water treatment, and flame retardants, this versatile compound is packed and shipped globally with full documentation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can ammonium sulphate be used in all soil types?

Answer:
It is particularly beneficial for alkaline soils, as it lowers pH while supplying nitrogen and sulfur. It’s safe for most soil types with proper application.

2. Is it suitable for fertigation or drip systems?

Answer:
Yes, thanks to its high water solubility, it’s widely used in fertigation and liquid fertilizer formulations.

3. Does it contain any chloride?

Answer:
No, ammonium sulphate is chloride-free, making it safe for chloride-sensitive crops.

4. What’s the difference between caprolactam grade and granular grade?

Answer:
Caprolactam-grade is purer and used in chemical processes, while granular or crystalline grades are optimized for agricultural applications.
