Anti-caking agents and fertilizer safe production: Compatibility—An Aspect That Cannot Be Overlooked

2025-10-14

Summary:

When selecting anti-caking agents, it is essential to consider their compatibility with the fertilizer system, as this directly affects both production safety and product stability. First, the anti-caking agent must not undergo any chemical reactions with any components in the fertilizer—for example, it should not contain alkaline substances that could react with ammonium nitrogen and release ammonia gas. Second, for certain fertilizers with oxidizing properties (such as ammonium nitrate), the anti-caking agent must be non-combustible and incapable of catalyzing their decomposition, thereby ensuring safe storage and transportation. Furthermore, the anti-caking agent itself should be chemically stable, resistant to volatilization and oxidation, and able to maintain its effectiveness throughout the fertilizer’s shelf life. Therefore, the selection of an anti-caking agent is a highly rigorous technical task.
