Honeywell Sulf-N® 26: A New Fertilizer for a New World What’s at stake How Sulf-N® 26 can help Seven billion people need to eat every day and we need nitrogen fertilizers Powerful agricultural benefits to feed them …but nitrate fertilizers can be unsafe Safe to handle, transport, and store to transport and store …and nitrate fertilizers, especially ammonium nitrate, can be used Low detonation potential to make explosives Powerful agricultural benefits Equal or better crop yields and quality for a broad range of crop and soil combinations In multiple crop tests pitting Sulf-N® 26 • Dry solid fertilizer, 26-0-0-14S • 26% nitrogen (N) and 14% sulfur (S), against various combinations of nitrogen two essential nutrients plants need to thrive and sulfur fertilizers, Sulf-N® 26 has • Both critical forms of nitrogen delivered equal or superior crop yields - 6.5% nitrate nitrogen for early green up and quality. For grains, vegetables, tree - 19.5% ammonium nitrogen for healthier root zone crops, and berries – Sulf-N® 26 delivers. • Sulfate form of sulfur - Sulfate is immediately available to plants unlike other forms of sulfur - Plants need sulfur for maximum nitrogen uptake Compatibility with phosphorus Compatibility Ease of - World soils are increasingly sulfur and potassium with urea application deficient fertilizers Improves operational efficiency Difficult Ammonium nitrate Moderate Low “sugars” in hot, • Blends with other fertilizers and humid climates crop-protection chemicals unlike Calcium Moderate Good ammonium nitrate (AN) ammonium nitrate Moderate • Stable when stored with urea even in humid climates Urea High — Good - Retains particle integrity Sulf-N® 26 High High Good - Does not “sugar” like AN Safe to handle, transport, and store Safe to handle • Classified as non-hazardous • Safe to handle and apply unlike Ammonium nitrate accidents have killed other fertilizers such as anhydrous ammonia or injured thousands of people and cost • Can be safely impregnated with ® petroleum based pesticides billions of dollars. Sulf-N 26 is safe Safe to transport for storage and transportation, offering • No special transportation requirements peace of mind and cost savings to the • DOT Class 5 – non-oxidizer entire value chain. (unlike AN) • DOT Class 1 – non-explosive Safe to store • Stores safely with other fertilizers US Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulation such as DAP, MAP, MOP, SOP, NPK (Regulated or banned in the US, and urea Ammonium nitrate Regulated oxidizer Canada, Europe, Australia, Afghanistan, • Can be packaged and sold in small Philippines and many other countries) bags or in bulk Calcium Not regulated ammonium nitrate That safety means lower cost for the value chain Urea Not regulated • No special security or reporting requirements Sulf-N® 26 Non-hazardous, not regulated • Lower risk and insurance premiums Low detonation potential Low detonation potential • Sulf-N® 26 technology fuses ammonium nitrate (a fertilizer and Terrorist bombs have killed or wounded explosive) with ammonium sulfate (a fertilizer and fire retardant) over 50,000 people in the last two years. - The result is a “double salt” matrix with two AN molecules for each Nitrate fertilizers are the single largest molecule of AS - The AS in the Sulf-N® 26 matrix source of the improvised explosive dampens the rate of AN combustion materials used in those devices. • When used as a supplementary fuel source for high explosives, Sulf-N® 26 is less effective than sugar or sawdust • When mixed with a sensitizer (as in Detonation Potential AN/fuel oil bombs), Sulf-N® 26 is as ineffective as sand Ammonium nitrate Very High Detonation testing Potassium nitrate • Only fertilizer awarded SAFETY Act Very High Designation by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Sodium nitrate Very High • Extensive detonation testing conducted under guidance of Calcium ammonium nitrate High US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Urea Medium • Successful testing by other defense and security entities Sulf-N® 26 Low Find out more Please visit sulfn26.com to learn more about Honeywell Sulf-N® 26 Honeywell Specialty Materials July 2011 www.honeywell.com © 2011 Honeywell International Inc..
