Fertilizers

Dust is a recurring issue in the dry fertilizer industry, forming during the production, storage, usage, and transportation phases. Certain flawed production methods may lead to excessively fragile fertilizer that degrades into dust at various stages. Moreover, changes in temperature and humidity can compromise granule integrity, leading to breakage during application. Depending on the volume, dust formation can significantly impair air quality and impact the health and safety of personnel handling the material. It also leads to a loss of valuable fertilizer products, causing yield and production setbacks.

To tackle this common problem, JAS Global developed UltraCot, a range of dust control chemical additives that are applied during fertilizer production. These easy-application solutions offer robust dust control with little to no effect on fertilizer flowability. They are created from raw materials that ensure the safe use of fertilizers in downstream applications such as agriculture. Like our other offerings, these dust control additives are customized to meet your specific requirements, enhancing your fertilizer's marketability. With our superior coating technology, our anti-caking agents help you overcome fertilizer caking tendencies and enhance the sustainability of your processes, assisting you in achieving your environmental and efficiency goals.

Fertilizer caking is a significant issue that can hinder the production, storage, transport, and application of fertilizers. It can occur due to pressure from storage conditions, leading to plastic deformation at the surface of fertilizer particles, causing them to stick to new contact surfaces due to reduced water vapor pressure. Additionally, caking can occur when bridges form between the surfaces of fertilizer particles from the crystallization of water-soluble salts. Not only does caking reduce the value of your fertilizer, but it can also damage equipment and create safety hazards for workers.

However, these issues can be mitigated with proper conditioning treatments for fertilizers, ensuring the quality of your product and the safety of your workers. JAS Global's UltraCot anti-caking agents, which are applied as an external treatment, can help protect your fertilizer from common caking issues and reduce dust formation. Our cost-effective anti-caking agents are safe, sustainable, provide effective and long-lasting caking management, and comply with regulatory requirements. Our team will guide you in choosing the best product to meet your specific anti-caking needs.

In today’s market, demand for colored fertilizers is growing, leading many top fertilizer manufacturers to increase their product offerings. JAS Global provides a variety of coloring agents for fertilizer granules that are formulated with dyes and pigments for surface coloring and/or full body coloration. These high-tinting strength agents can modify the color, sheen, and translucency of the granule surface as needed, provide a uniform appearance, and create unique product identification for each manufacturer.

Our UltraDy coloring agents can be used in various types of fertilizers, including NPK, NPS, DAP, MAP, TSP, S-based, urea-based, and chlorine-based compound fertilizers. Our fertilizer coloring additives are made with superior raw materials that improve the properties of the fertilizer granule, including strong dispersion and binding properties, reducing caking tendency, enhancing flowability, limiting moisture absorption, and regulating nutrient release.

Additionally, our UltraCot anti-caking agents and dust control additives can be customized to color the surface of the substrate. Our field application engineers and expert scientists can determine and optimize the dosage of the appropriate colorant, coating agent, or in some cases, a combination of multiple coloring agents to meet our customers' needs.

Traditionally, Potash production involves producing Potassium Carbonate from wood ash, which is achieved by leaching the ash, boiling the solution, and leaving a white solid residue. Today, Potash ores are mined to extract Potash Salt, a crucial ingredient for plant growth. It aids in sugar and starch production, water regulation within plant cells, enhancing the effect of Nitrogen fertilizer in soil, and activating enzymes. Potash is also obtained from seawater, such as in the Dead Sea in Jordan, where both techniques are used to produce KCl fertilizers. JAS Global provides high-quality chemical additives to facilitate the mining process for optimal operational efficiency.
