Product Overview
At Aethon Chemicals, we supply high-quality Potassium Sulphate (SOP) widely used in agriculture as a premium potash fertilizer. SOP is a chloride-free source of potassium and sulphur, making it especially suitable for chloride-sensitive crops such as fruits, vegetables, tobacco, and plantation crops. It improves crop yield, enhances root development, and supports protein and enzyme synthesis in plants.
In addition to agriculture, Potassium Sulphate is also used in industrial, chemical, and specialty applications due to its high purity and non-corrosive nature.
