ICL PeKacid™ 0-60-20 — The Soft Dream of Every Dripper

PeKacid™ is a unique phosphoric acid-based fertilizer from ICL Specialty Fertilizers that simultaneously acidifies irrigation water and delivers high-analysis phosphorus and potassium. Where liquid acid treatments require hazardous handling and separate fertilizer programs, PeKacid does both in a single, safe, dry application — making it the preferred choice for drip irrigation, hydroponics, and high-bicarbonate water management.

Why PeKacid Outperforms Liquid Acid Treatment

Alkaline and hard irrigation waters are difficult to manage due to high bicarbonate, calcium, and magnesium content, which creates insoluble compounds that clog drippers and irrigation lines. PeKacid continuously maintains pH on the acidic side, preventing scale formation without the hazards of liquid phosphoric or nitric acid.

• Bicarbonate neutralization force of 240 — 240g of PeKacid fully neutralizes 1 eq of HCO₃⁻ in 1 m³ of water
• Dissolves and disintegrates existing carbonate scale from calcium carbonates and calcium-iron phosphates
• Clears blocked drip emitters and restores irrigation line flow
• Extends the lifespan of drip irrigation systems
• Eliminates the need for hazardous liquid acid handling
• Uniform, efficient distribution of water and nutrients throughout the system
