My local fert supplier doesn't have any KCl in stock and I'm told it will take a month to arrive if I order some more in. This doesn't leave many options, I have a found a place that sells KCl as a horse supplement. Would it be reasonable to assume that it would be ammonium salt free?

They also sell cheap sulfur which according to the MSDS is 100%


/Ive emailed for a MSDS but I am not counting on getting ones.

Cheers

Hi, I doubt whether this will help in this instance, but the majority of agricultural (fertilizer) grade KCl is marked as 60% K2O which is equivalent to 95-97% KCl. 98-99% KCl in normally marked as 62-63% K2O, which is chemical grade.
In agri grade KCl the other 5% are impurities mainly consisting of sodium chloride (somewhere in the region of 2-3.5% NaCl), clay and iron oxide.
Hope thats any help.
