Monosodium Phosphate
Industrial Applications
Monosodium Phosphate (MSP) is a water-soluble inorganic salt widely used across food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. In the food industry, it acts as a leavening agent, acidity regulator, and emulsifier in baked goods, processed cheese, and dairy products. In pharmaceuticals, MSP is used in oral rehydration solutions and as a buffering agent. Industrially, it serves as a corrosion inhibitor, water treatment agent, and pH adjuster in various chemical formulations.
Physical Properties
Monosodium Phosphate is a white, odorless, crystalline solid or granular powder with good flow characteristics. It is highly soluble in water and dissolves readily to form a clear, mildly acidic aqueous solution. The compound is non-hygroscopic under normal conditions, exhibits low dusting when properly milled, and is non-volatile. Monosodium Phosphate is thermally stable at ambient temperatures and does not readily decompose during standard handling or storage. Its consistent particle size distribution and good dispersibility make it well suited for use in dry blends and aqueous formulations across industrial and food-grade applications.
