Brief Description

Description :

SOP (K2SO4) offers an advantage over MOP (KCl) currently used by farmers with special focus on Chloride sensitive crops, Dryland agriculture, Sulphur responsive crops, Drip irrigation and Areas deficient in K S. Ultra-pure magnesia is used in refractory lining for primary steelmaking as well as in Magnesium metal production.
