Sodium Phosphate

Disodium phosphate has a high degree of hygroscopicity and water solubility. It can be used in combination with sodium monosodium phosphate when preparing biological buffers. It is usually used as a buffer for biological assays. Sodium is essential for the functions of nerves and muscles.

Safety Information

Product Usage

Sodium Phosphate represents a group of versatile inorganic compounds (including MSP, DSP, and TSP) that are essential in various industrial sectors due to their excellent buffering, emulsifying, and sequestering capabilities. In the food industry, it is widely used as a moisture-retention agent, quality improver, and acidity regulator, effectively enhancing the water-holding capacity of meat products and preventing clumping in dairy products. In industrial water treatment, sodium phosphate acts as a crucial scale inhibitor and water softener, preventing boiler scaling by sequestering metal ions. Additionally, it serves as a builder in detergents to enhance cleaning efficiency and as a dyeing assistant in the textile industry. In pharmaceuticals, specific grades are frequently used as saline laxatives or buffering agents in medications.
