Fertigation is the technique that allows the simultaneous dispersal of water and fertilizer through irrigation systems. Anti-caking agents for fertilizers used in the fertigation process have an added challenge of inheriting inapplicable insoluble agents.

SIPERNAT® D 17 prevents caking of fertilizers on a sustainable basis, improves the fl owability as well and enables convenient handling for you and your customers. With an addition of only 0.3 % SIPERNAT® D 17 a signifi cant improve-ment can be achieved.

Water Soluble Fertilizer Anti

The global market for water-soluble fertilizer anti-caking agents is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing demand for efficient and high-yielding agriculture.

Anti

Alkylcarboxylates, such as aluminium stearate, are generally used as anti caking agents (from candy to fertiliser). They can be admixed with alkylamines to improve the anticaking behaviour.

NovoFlow anti

Usually, 400 to 5000 grams of NovoFlow per ton fertilizer will be sufficient to prevent both moisture absorption and caking. However, operating variables determine the exact amount to be employed. The optimum dosage for each fertilizer grade can only be determined by testing under plant conditions.

Fillers, anti

Our minerals make excellent coating agents, preventing caking and dust in fertilizers. Our range of talcs and clays make excellent anticaking agents and inert fillers for fertilizers. Nitrogen-phosphate (NPK) fertilizers, as well as other complex fertilizers, have a natural tendency to cake.

Fertilizer Additives: Anti

Anti-caking agents can be applied to fertilizers using several methods, depending on the type of fertilizer and the desired level of protection. One common approach is coating during production, where a thin layer of the anti-caking agent is applied directly to granules as they are formed.

Water-soluble fertilizer is a highly efficient liquid nutrient solution that dissolves rapidly in water, providing comprehensive nutrition for plants. due to the limited solubility of its nutrients in water, prolonged storage may lead to caking. adding an anti-caking agent is essential.

The role of an anti-caking agent is to form a protective layer within the water-soluble fertilizer, preventing moisture intrusion and reducing the likelihood of caking. Additionally, it enhances the stability of the fertilizer, prolonging its shelf life.

How to Choose the Right Anti-Caking Agent? This depends on the specific composition and requirements of the water-soluble fertilizer. Generally, the dosage of the anti-caking agent should be moderate; excessive or insufficient amounts can negatively impact performance.

Key Considerations:

1. Main Components of the Fertilizer: Common water-soluble fertilizers contain macroelements (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), trace elements, and organic matter. The ratio and content of these components determine the fertilizer’s properties and effectiveness. When selecting an anti-caking agent, these factors must be considered.

2. Environmental Conditions: Different environments affect the stability and efficacy of the fertilizer. For example, high humidity and temperature accelerate caking, while dry, low-temperature conditions favor solubility and absorption. The choice of anti-caking agent should align with storage and usage conditions.

3. Frequency and Dosage of Application: Macroelement-based fertilizers are typically used less frequently, whereas trace element-based formulas require more frequent application. The anti-caking agent dosage should match the usage patterns of the specific fertilizer.

4. Cost Factors: While anti-caking agents effectively prevent caking, they can be costly. Balancing cost and efficacy is critical when selecting the appropriate agent.

Recommended Dosages for Anti-Caking Agents:

• For fertilizers rich in macroelements (N, P, K): Add 0.5%–1% of the total mass. This ensures nutritional adequacy while minimizing caking risks.
• For trace element-based fertilizers: Add 0.3%–0.5% of the total mass. This maintains micronutrient availability without excessive additives.
• For fertilizers with high organic content: Add 0.2%–0.4% of the total mass. This preserves organic matter integrity and reduces caking.

Note: These recommendations are general guidelines. Actual dosages should be adjusted based on specific formulations, environmental conditions, and product testing. Always follow manufacturer instructions for anti-caking agents and monitor the fertilizer’s performance and caking tendencies to refine dosages as needed.
