Product Overview
Manganese Lignosulfonate (Mn LS) is a water-soluble anionic polyelectrolyte polymer derived from sulfite pulping, complexed with manganese (II) ions. It serves as a biodegradable fertilizer to supply manganese micronutrients to crops and as a dispersant in industrial applications.

Applications
- Agriculture: Supplies manganese micronutrients to crops, addressing deficiencies in calcareous soils and improving plant growth.
- Industrial: Used as a dispersant in dyes, pesticides, and ceramics, and as a binder in mineral powders.
- Environmental: Employed as a soil stabilizer and dust suppressant on roads.
Handling and Storage
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse at temperatures between 530řC, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent degradation.
- Keep containers tightly sealed to avoid moisture absorption, which may cause clumping or reduced solubility.
- Store away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents to prevent chemical reactions.
- Ensure storage area is equipped with spill containment measures and is inaccessible to children and unauthorized personnel.
- Use PPE such as gloves, safety goggles, and dust masks during handling to minimize skin, eye, and inhalation exposure.
Safety Information
- Hazards: May cause mild skin and eye irritation. Not carcinogenic.
- First Aid: For eye contact, rinse with water for 15 minutes. For skin contact, wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
- Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations, preferably in a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration.
Packaging
Available in 25 kg woven bags with a liner or as per customer requirements.
