Chemical Safety: Unrestricted goods |
- Solubility: Water: easily soluble in water, aqueous solution is strongly alkaline (pH about 12); Organic solvent: insoluble in ethanol, and other organic solvents
- Hydrolysis reaction: Fully ionized in water to form phosphate ions and sodium ions
- Complexation: Form an insoluble precipitate with metal ions (e.g. Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) for softening hard water
- Thermal stability: It decomposes when heated to high temperatures, forming sodium phosphate and oxygen
- Acid base: The aqueous solution is strongly basic and can react with acid to form phosphate
Industrial Applications
- Agriculture: High-efficiency phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer for various crops; foliar fertilizer to enhance disease resistance
- industry: Quality improver, leavening agent, and fermentation aid for baked goods and beverages
- Pharmaceutical industry: Raw material for drugs supplementing phosphorus and potassium; pH buffer in drug formulations
- Chemical industry: Buffer for pH adjustment in electroplating and dyes; flame retardant component for plastics and rubber
- Water treatment: Corrosion inhibitor for pipes and equipment; pH regulator for water quality
- Step Lab: Standard reagent for buffer solutions in biochemical and molecular biology research
