Purpose: Diammonium Phosphate fertilizer grade is Tech Grade Phosphate and Agricultural Grade Phosphate mainly used as a high concentration nitrogen phosphorus compound fertilizer; Industrial grade is used for impregnating wood and fabrics to increase their durability. It can also be used as a dry powder fire extinguishing agent and phosphorus for fluorescent lamps; It is also used for printing plate making, manufacturing of electronic tubes, ceramics, enamel, etc., and biochemical treatment of wastewater.

Ammonium phosphate dibasic (NH4)2HPO4 is a common nutrient used in wine-making to provide yeast with the necessary nitrogen for growth and fermentation. It is a white crystalline powder that is easily soluble in water and has a pH of around 8. It is often added to the must (grape juice) before fermentation to ensure a healthy and complete fermentation process.

During fermentation, yeast cells require nitrogen to build proteins and enzymes that are essential for their growth and metabolism. Without sufficient nitrogen, the fermentation process can stall, resulting in a wine with residual sugar and a lower alcohol content. Ammonium phosphate dibasic provides a source of nitrogen that is readily available to yeast, ensuring a healthy fermentation and a complete conversion of sugar to alcohol.

When using ammonium phosphate dibasic in wine-making, it is important to follow the recommended dosage rates and to monitor the fermentation process closely. Overdosing can lead to excessive yeast growth and the production of off-flavors and aromas, while underdosing can result in a sluggish fermentation and a lower quality wine.
