Protassium+ SOP 3IX 0-0-53 Crystalline Potassium Sulfate — 50 lb
Protassium+ SOP 3IX is the highest-purity crystalline sulfate of potash available commercially, produced via ion exchange to deliver 53% soluble potash (K₂O) and 18% sulfate sulfur. With the lowest chloride content and lowest salt index of any SOP on the market, 3IX is the preferred potassium sulfate for high-value crop production, sensitive hydroponic systems, and precision liquid blend formulation.
The ultra-fine crystalline form (very low SGN) ensures rapid, complete dissolution with no residue — making 3IX the ideal potassium source for fertigation injection systems, recirculating hydroponic programs, and custom liquid fertilizer blending.
Key Features
- 53% soluble potash (K₂O) — highest K₂O content of any SOP formulation
- 18% sulfate sulfur — immediately plant-available sulfur co-delivered with potassium
- Ion exchange production — ultra-low chloride; lowest salt index of any SOP
- Crystalline form — very low SGN for rapid, complete dissolution in water
- Chloride-sensitive crop safe — ideal for berries, specialty crop, tobacco, potatoes, and vegetables
- Liquid blend compatible — dissolves cleanly with no residue in fertigation and hydroponic systems
Applications
- Hydroponic and soilless nutrient programs
- Fertigation and drip irrigation systems
- High-value chloride-sensitive crop production
- Precision liquid fertilizer blend formulation
- specialty crop production — bloom and finishing stages
