Pure ("glacial") acetic acid is a clear, syrupy, corrosive liquid that mixes readily with water; with a distinctive pungent odor. Acetic acid is the sour principle in vinegar. also known as Ethanoic acid, glacial acetic acid, Ethylic acid, Methane carboxylic acid and Vinegar acid (vinegar when very dilute). Concentrated acid is called glacial acetic acid because of its readiness to crystallize at cool temperatures. |

| Ammonium Nitrate – Tech Grade |
| Information Sheet (.PDF 90kb) |
|
HAZNOTE (PDF 489kb) |
A colorless crystalline salt, rhombohedra crystals at room temperature but changes to monoclinic crystals when heated above 32°C. The highly water soluble salt is the preferred nitrogen source of fertilizers. Most of the produced ammonium nitrate ends therefore in the production of fertilizers. It is extremely soluble in water and soluble in alcohol and liquid ammonia. |

| Ammonium Sulphate –
Tech Grade
Crystalline & Prill |
| Information Sheet (.PDF 88kb) |
A white crystalline salt used in dilution with water and the prill used for broadcast applications in horticultural crops and for the turf market. It is prepared commercially by passing ammonia, obtained from destructive distillation of coal, into sulfuric acid and is used as a fertilizer. It is used largely as an artificial fertilizer for alkaline soils. In the soil the sulphate ion is released and forms sulfuric acid, lowering the pH balance of the soil (as do other sulphate compounds such as aluminum sulphate), while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth. |

| Calcium Nitrate Prill (Granular) |
| Information Sheet (.PDF 91kb) |
|
HAZNOTE (PDF 489kb) |
A solid white to yellowish prill (granular) with a formulation low or lacking in ammonia, also called Calcium Nitrate Tetrahydrate or Calcium Nitrate 4-hydrate. This product is a water soluble fertilizer containing ready available nitrate nitrogen and available calcium to improve the productivity of the crop. It is suitable for use in greenhouses, drip irrigation systems and foliar sprays. It is also suitable for the production of nutrient solutions.
It is a high efficiency plant nutrient with ready available calcium and nitrogen for the plants for immediate absorption. The nitrogen in the product is predominantly in the nitrate form and the calcium is in the water-soluble form. It can lengthen the florescence, promote the root, stem, and leaf to grow normally, also to ensure the color of the fruit is bright and increase the sugar content of fruit. |

HAZNOTE (PDF 489kb) |
Deliquescent white crystals; soluble in alcohol and water; a fire hazard; it is very soluble in both water and ethanol. Fertilizer blends containing magnesium nitrate usually have ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate potassium nitrate and micronutrients; these blends are used in the greenhouse and hydroponics trade. |

|
|
A colorless, crystalline compound, also known as Epsom salts. In agriculture and gardening, magnesium sulphate is used to correct magnesium deficiency in soil(magnesium is an essential element in the chlorophyll molecule). It is most commonly applied to potted plants, or to magnesium-hungry crops, such as potatoes, roses, tomatoes, and peppers. The advantage of magnesium sulphate over other magnesium soil amendments(such as dolomite lime) is its high solubility. |

| Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) |
| Information Sheet (.PDF 90 kb) |
|
|
A colorless, water-soluble crystal, also known as MKP, a soluble salt which is used as a nutrient source in the greenhouse and hydroponic trade. It is a source of phosphorus and potassium, and is a buffering agent. When used in fertilizer mixtures with urea and ammonium phosphates, it minimizes escape of ammonia by keeping the pH at a relatively low level. |

| Potassium Chloride |
| Information Sheet (.PDF 87 kb) |
|
|
A colorless crystalline solid or powder, the compound closely resembles common salt (sodium chloride). It is soluble in water, alcohol, and alkalis. Potassium chloride is also commonly known as "Muriate of Potash". Potash varies in color from pink or red to white depending on the mining and recovery process used. White potash, sometimes referred to as soluble potash, is usually higher in analysis and is used primarily for making liquid starter fertilizers. The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. |

HAZNOTE (PDF 489kb) |
A transparent white crystalline compound. It is highly soluble in cold water. The majority of the potassium nitrate produced is used primarily as a highly available form of potassium and nitrogen in hydroponics systems; however, it is widely used in the greenhouse, viticulture and outdoor crop industry. |

| Chelated Micronutrient’s |
This micronutrient mix is for the correction and prevention of deficiencies in agricultural and horticultural crops and is used in soil, foliar and hydroponics applications.
Every plant requires micronutrients and must be available to the plant or crop in the correct proportions, and they must be administered at the right intervals. While specific needs vary according to climate, soil, technical measures adopted and choice of crop, it is vital that the proper balance is maintained. If a plant lacks any of the micronutrients it requires, its development, growth or reproduction will be affected, resulting in lower yields. This may not always be immediately obvious and a plant may suffer from micronutrient malnutrition long before any symptoms become visible. A plant may appear healthy, but the quality and quantity of the crop will be adversely affected. |
