Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- MKP
- Monopotassium Phosphate
- Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate
- Potassium Phosphate Monobasic
Mono potassium phosphate supplier for fertigation, foliar feed, food, technical and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also traded as MKP, monopotassium phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium phosphate monobasic and KH2PO4, and known to Malay-speaking growers as mono kalium phosphate, it is a white crystalline, fully water-soluble salt that supplies phosphorus and potassium together in a chloride-free form.
Commercial grades include agricultural MKP for fertigation and hydroponics, technical grade for industrial buffering and process chemistry, and food grade monopotassium phosphate (E340(i)) for selected food and beverage uses. Agricultural material is commonly referenced near a 0-52-34 N-P2O5-K2O nutrient ratio, while technical and food grades are matched to assay and impurity limits.
Agriculture remains the main demand: MKP dissolves readily for drip lines and foliar spray without the chloride load of muriate of potash. Food processors use suitable grades as buffers and stabilisers, pharmaceutical and laboratory work may call for defined purity, and technical manufacturers use it where a soluble monobasic potassium phosphate is required.

Common questions about mono potassium phosphate
What is mono potassium phosphate (MKP)?
Mono potassium phosphate is a water-soluble salt with the formula KH2PO4, also called monopotassium phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate or potassium phosphate monobasic. It is traded as MKP and supplies both phosphorus and potassium in a single, chloride-free crystalline product.
Is MKP the same as dipotassium phosphate (DKP)?
No. MKP is the monobasic salt KH2PO4 with a mildly acidic solution pH. Dipotassium phosphate (DKP) is the dibasic salt K2HPO4 and is alkaline in solution. They are related potassium phosphates but different products with different grades, uses and specifications, so each should be ordered by its own name.
Which grade of mono potassium phosphate should I request?
Agricultural grade MKP is the usual choice for fertigation, foliar feed and hydroponics. Technical grade suits industrial buffering and process work. Food grade is selected when a food or beverage specification and matching documentation are required. State the application and any assay or impurity limits with the enquiry.
What does the 0-52-34 fertiliser ratio mean for MKP?
Agricultural MKP is commonly described by a market nutrient ratio near 0-52-34, meaning no nitrogen with high phosphate (P2O5) and potash (K2O) equivalents. It is a commercial reference for fertiliser buyers rather than a guarantee for every lot, so confirm the required nutrient or assay values when requesting a quotation.
Is mono potassium phosphate fully water-soluble for fertigation?
Yes. MKP is selected for fertigation and foliar programmes because it dissolves readily and is used in drip and spray systems where a chloride-free phosphorus and potassium source is preferred. Tell us the dosing method and preferred particle size so the quoted grade matches the programme.
What details are needed for an MKP price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target specification or nutrient ratio, quantity and delivery location. Mention packing preferences and any documents needed so availability, packing and commercial terms can be confirmed with the quotation.
