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

Some of the most common industrial applications for MSP are in water treatment and cleaning agents as 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 supply 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.
