Fertilizers
Defoamers
During digestion of phosphate rock, foam is formed by the evolution of large quantities of CO2 and SiF4 gases and by the entrainment of air into the slurry. Occasionally the reaction generates a gross disturbance caused by an eruption of gases which may carry over large quantities of incompletely reacted materials into the vapor condensing system, waste disposal system, or other appurtenant apparatus, a very costly event. AEROPEC defoamers function by altering the surface tension of the liquid, which destabilizes the foam and therefore enlarge capacity, improve efficiency, maximize chemical reactions and contribute to a clean and safe working environment. AEROPEC defoamers Follow latest EU and US regulations and inert to elements – No chemical reaction with: P2O5, CaO, MgO, Al2O2, Fe2O3, SiO2, SO4, SO3, F-

Coloring Agents
ICS developed a broad range of coloring agents based on dyes and pigments to match our customer’s needs. ICS coloring agents properties include: Food grade, comply with applicable regulatory requirements, pH stability, UV resistant, Cost effective, Wide color selection, resists fading or changing over time, color consistency, compatible to most types of fertilizers (DAP, Urea, NPK, etc.) In addition, ICS can help our customers designs and installs optimal application systems for our coloring agents. These application systems can be designed to include colorimeters to detect subtle changes in shade and intensity of the colored fertilizer and to synchronize these detection devices to dosing controls to maintain consistent adherence to color specifications.
Granulation Aids
FERTEK™ granulation aids help builds granule crush strength, provide dust suppression and allow the finished product to break down and release nutrients in the target environment. Metalub aids does not interfere with the chemical properties and the end use of fertilizer and are non-toxic. Metalub granulations aids FERTEK™ help fertilizer producers achieve improved product and minimize air issues. here are some of FERTEK™ key properties: Ease of Application, Low Dust, Suitable for Bulk Blending, Increased Granule Crush Strength, Durable in Transportation, Reduction of Windage Loss, Cost Effective, Optimized Pellet Characteristics
