The Phosphate Solutions segment converts foundational phosphate commodities into specialized products. It manufactures and distributes phosphate-based fertilizers, sulphuric acid, and green phosphoric acid. This unit also produces thermal phosphoric acid for a diverse array of industrial uses, spanning sectors such as oral hygiene, cleaning products, paints and coatings, water treatment, asphalt modification, construction, and metal treatment. Moreover, it develops and produces functional food ingredients and phosphate additives for application in the processed meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, beverage, and baked goods markets, as well as manufacturing milk and whey proteins for the broader food ingredients industry.
