Dipotassium phosphonate(CAS: 13492-26-7)

Dipotassium phosphonate is a salt derived from phosphoric acid, with the chemical formula K2HPO3. It is a white, crystalline powder with a slightly alkaline pH. It is soluble in water and has a characteristic phosphorus smell.

Dipotassium phosphonate is widely used in pharmaceuticals for its buffering and solubilizing properties. It is also utilized in the food industry as a food additive and in water treatment for pH adjustment. Additionally, it is used in research and development for its unique chemical characteristics.

Dipotassium phosphonate is generally considered safe for most applications. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines, such as avoiding contact with eyes and skin, and wearing appropriate protective equipment. It is also important to handle it in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of dust.

Dipotassium phosphonate should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid storing it in damp or humid conditions, as this may lead to deterioration or clumping of the compound.
