Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)

FSiix Resources sources and trades Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) 18-46-0, a high-analysis granular fertiliser supplying 18% minimum total nitrogen and 46% minimum phosphate (P₂O₅) in a single product. Supplied from certified GCC and China production, our DAP is granulated to a 2–5 mm particle size with at least 80% water solubility, and moves in 50 kg bags, jumbo bags, and bulk to agricultural distributors, fertiliser blenders, and crop programmes worldwide.

OVERVIEW

High-Analysis Phosphate and Nitrogen in One Granule

FSiix's DAP programme supplies Diammonium Phosphate in the 18-46-0 grade from certified GCC and China production. DAP is produced by reacting phosphoric acid with ammonia and granulating the resulting slurry, delivering phosphorus and nitrogen together in one of the highest-analysis solid fertilisers in global use.

Its 46% phosphate content and 18% nitrogen make DAP the standard basal and starter fertiliser for phosphorus-deficient soils, cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and cotton. Each consignment is assayed for total nitrogen, P₂O₅, moisture, particle size, and water solubility before certification and dispatch.

HOW IT'S PRODUCED

From Phosphoric Acid & Ammonia to Granular DAP

FSiix's DAP supply runs under controlled ammoniation, granulation, and batch-certified quality control across our GCC and China origins.

01 — AMMONIATION

Phosphoric Acid Neutralisation

Phosphoric acid is reacted with ammonia in a controlled ammoniator, forming a DAP slurry. Ammonia-to-acid ratio and reaction temperature are held steady to target the 18-46-0 nutrient balance.

02 — GRANULATION

Slurry Granulation & Drying

The slurry is granulated in drum or pan granulators, building uniform granules that are dried to a low moisture level. Recycled fines are returned to the granulator to maximise yield and granule consistency.

03 — SCREENING & QC RELEASE

Screening, Cooling & Certification

Cooled granules are screened so that 90% fall between 2 and 5 mm. Every batch is assayed for total nitrogen, P₂O₅, moisture, and water solubility before certification and dispatch.

WHY SOURCE THROUGH FSIIX

Three Pillars That Distinguish Our DAP

Dual-Origin Supply

GCC and China production give buyers two qualified sources of the same 18-46-0 specification, reducing single-origin risk and supporting tender and offtake planning.

High-Analysis Consistency

Minimum 18% nitrogen and 46% P₂O₅ are verified batch by batch, with granule size held to 2–5 mm for even spreading and blending performance.

Certified Quality & Logistics

Each batch ships with a certificate of analysis covering nitrogen, phosphate, moisture, particle size, and solubility, in bags, jumbo bags, or bulk with full documentation.

MARKET CONTEXT

A Core Phosphate Fertiliser for Global Agriculture

Phosphate fertilisers remain essential for crop yield on phosphorus-deficient soils, and DAP's combined nitrogen and phosphate content keeps it among the most widely traded solid fertilisers, with GCC and China both significant sources of supply.

PRICING IS QUOTED, NOT LISTED

DAP pricing tracks phosphate rock, phosphoric acid, and ammonia feedstock costs, freight, and packing format, so we don't publish a static reference price here — anything printed on a page would likely be stale within days.
