FAQ

Common Questions

Which phosphate rock grades do you supply?

+

Two commercial grades. The 54-60 grade on TCP basis, carrying P2O5 of 24.7-27.46%, and the 64-66 grade on BPL basis, carrying P2O5 of 29.29-30.20%. Always confirm which basis a quotation refers to - TCP and BPL are not interchangeable figures.

What is the difference between TCP and BPL basis?

+

BPL - bone phosphate of lime - is the traditional trading basis and equals roughly 2.185 times the P2O5 percentage. TCP expresses tricalcium phosphate content. A grade quoted without its basis is ambiguous, which is why every offer we issue states it explicitly.

Where is the rock sourced?

+

Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC), one of the region's established producers. Single-source supply means the chemical profile stays consistent across shipments.

What are the main applications?

+

Phosphoric acid and DAP/MAP fertilizer production, direct application in acidic soils, and animal feed phosphate manufacturing. The grade required differs markedly between these uses.

What inspection accompanies a shipment?

+

SGS inspection at load port with certificate of analysis covering P2O5 content on the agreed basis, moisture, and the cadmium and heavy metal profile that EU-bound cargo requires.

What delivery terms are available?

+

FOB Aqaba, or CIF and CFR to the destination port. Aqaba loading gives a short sea leg to Red Sea, East African and South Asian destinations.
