Information on MONO POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE

Mono potassium phosphate is formed when caustic potash lye or caustic potash flakes are added to the solution of phosphoric acid until the desired PH is obtained and further dried to obtain fine quality white powder.

Uses / Application of MONO POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE

  • Mono potassium phosphate is widely used as a buffering agent for the determination of PH value
  • Mono potassium phosphate is also used as a food additive and as a fungicide
  • Mono potassium phosphate when used with urea and ammonium phosphates, helps to capture ammonia gas in soil, by keeping PH level low
  • MPP is a rich source of phosphorous and potassium
