Wet Process Phosphoric Acid for DAP Fertilizer from Japan
Wet-process phosphoric acid derived from phosphate rock, containing 52-54% P2O5 with typical impurities like fluorides and sulfates, used primarily in diammonium phosphate (DAP) production. Classified under HTS 2809.20.00.20 as fertilizer grade 'other' due to its specific formulation and lower purity optimized for fertilizer manufacturing rather than technical applications.
