Monosodium Phosphate

An inorganic compound commonly used in water treatment, metal finishing and animal feed manufacture. In food grade format, it is a common additive.

Overview

Monosodium phosphate is one of many sodium phosphates. Some of the most common industrial applications for MSP are in water treatment, cleaning agents; it helps to sequester metal ions.

Food grade MSP holds uses in animal feeds and the production of many everyday foods, acting as a pH control agent, emulsifier and stabilising agent.

The MSP we manufacture is available as a technical or food grade material. As a liquid, it is a clear, colourless liquid with no distinguishing odour. As a solid, it is a white powder with no distinguishing odour.
