Product Description

Backed by a team of experienced personnel, we are indulged in formulating and supplying Mono Sodium Phosphate. It is an inorganic compound of sodium with a di-hydrogen phosphate anion. The offered salt exists in an anhydrous form and is a common industrial chemical. It is widely used as a thickening agent and emulsifier and is thus added in toothpaste, evaporated milk and animal feed. Moreover, this salt can also be used for detecting the presence of magnesium ions in slats. Mixtures of various sodium phosphates can easily adjust the pH of this formulation.

# Mono Sodium Phosphate Properties:


Monosodium phosphate, often written as NaH2PO4, is a salt that has several notable properties. Here are some key characteristics:

1. Chemical Formula: NaH2PO4

This formula indicates that each molecule of monosodium phosphate contains one sodium (Na) ion, two hydrogen (H) ions, and one phosphate ion.
Physical Form: Monosodium phosphate is typically found as a white, crystalline powder or granules. It may also exist in hydrated forms with varying degrees of water content.

2. Solubility: It is highly soluble in water. This property makes it suitable for use in aqueous solutions and contributes to its effectiveness in various applications.

3. pH Regulation: Monosodium phosphate is commonly used as a pH buffer. It can act as both an acid and a base, helping to stabilize and control the pH of solutions in a specific range.

4. Hygroscopicity: Like disodium phosphate, monosodium phosphate may exhibit hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb and retain moisture from the surrounding environment.

5. Ionization: In solution, monosodium phosphate undergoes ionization to release sodium ions (Na+), hydrogen ions (H+), and phosphate ions. This ionization behavior is crucial for its role as a pH buffer.

# Applications of Mono Sodium Phosphate:


1. Food Industry: Used as a food additive for pH control, particularly in certain processed foods.

2. Pharmaceuticals: Employed in some pharmaceutical formulations as a buffering agent.

3. Laboratory: Used in various chemical and biological experiments as a buffering agent.

4. Water Treatment: In some cases, monosodium phosphate is used in water treatment processes.

# Safety Considerations:


Monosodium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in accordance with regulatory guidelines. However, as with any chemical, it is important to follow recommended usage levels and guidelines provided by relevant authorities.
