Food Production
Ammonium Sulphate is used in many Horticultural Sectors. A Horticultural Grade - highly pure Nitrogen fertiliser which easily dissolves. Not prone to caking. Recommended during periods of vegetative growth, colour enhancer, and winter feed. The high level of Nitrogen in the formula improves cell elongation and contributes to the production of protein, supporting enzymatic reactions.

Others
Provides Nitrogen and Sulphur readily soluble for use in the agricultural market, as an addition to fertilisers for golf courses and sport pitches and in industry. As an adjuvant for improved uptake of herbicides (phototoxicity). Weeds recognise the ammonium glyphosate complex as a source of nitrogen and so it is more readily absorbed. Mildly acidic in solution, it is particularly effective on alkaline soils. Used as a pH adjustment in leather production. Used in the process of dying wool for making yarn. Flocculant for water purification.
It is a component of etchant solutions in the production of printed circuit boards.
In food processing ammonium sulphate is added to flour and dough as it aids/encourages the activation of yeast in industrial bread manufacture.
Also used as feed supplement, resin additive, and is a raw material within fire retardant preparations and thinners preparations.
