Phosphanate (phosphate) is a natural source of phosphorus, an element that provides a quarter of all the nutrients plants need for growth and development. Phosphorus is used in many products and is an essential ingredient in all fertilizers.
The main challenge facing the industry is how to meet the increasing demand for phosphate in a sustainable way. At this point, the right fertilizer, the right ratio, the right time and the right place are very important criteria. Advances in modern technology seek new methods to apply these factors more precisely. Advanced and customized fertilizers help the world increase the productivity of arable land with less impact on the environment.
Phosphate is a limited resource and therefore it is extremely important to extract and use it in responsible and sustainable ways.
Phosphonates are powerful complexing agents used in bleach-containing detergents for stabilization of the active substance by preventing its catalytic degradation due to traces of heavy metals.
The behavior of phosphonates in terms of environmental fate and effects has been investigated, showing poor biodegradability and low aquatic toxicity.
Phosphonates are a type of salt from the phosphonic acid family. Phosphonate occurs naturally and is widely used in many industries due to its special chemical structure which makes it quite easy to work with. These salts are used in industrial cleaners, in the creation of other biological compounds, fungicides, rust removers, to improve bleaching for the pulp and paper industry. It is found in oil fields as a gelling agent and is used as intermediates in the production of synthetic DNA.
In the construction industry, phosphonates are used as concrete retarders to help delay concrete setting time and give workers more time for application times. When phosphate is added to the cement mix, the sites have a longer time frame to pour the concrete and also provides a much better heat dissipation over a longer period of time preventing cracks from high temperatures.
Phostanates provide the main benefits for concrete: improved strength, better frost resistance and higher sulfate resistance. However, phosphonates are also used in water treatment due to their impressive ability to stabilize metal ions, chelate and prevent corrosion.
Our organization also provides phosphonate analysis services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
