Frequently Asked Questions

What is monosodium phosphate used for?

Monosodium phosphate (MSP, CAS 7558-80-7) is an acidic, water-soluble sodium phosphate salt used as an acidity regulator and buffering agent in food processing, as a sequestrant and emulsifying salt, and in water-treatment and cleaning formulations. We supply it in bulk to food processors, water-treatment operations, and cleaning-product formulators.

What is another name for monosodium phosphate?

Monosodium phosphate is also called MSP, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, or sodium phosphate monobasic, CAS 7558-80-7, formula H2NaO4P (NaH2PO4). It is the monobasic sodium salt of phosphoric acid.

Is monosodium phosphate water soluble?

Yes. MSP is a water-soluble sodium phosphate salt, which is the basis for its use as a soluble acidity regulator, buffer, sequestrant, and emulsifying salt, and for pH control in water-treatment programs.

What grades and bulk packaging are available for monosodium phosphate?

We supply MSP in bags, drums, totes, and bulk. Food-grade and technical specifications are confirmed at quotation with the corresponding SDS and CoA. Contact us with your application and volume for a bulk quote.

What is the cost of bulk monosodium phosphate?

Bulk MSP pricing depends on grade, packaging, volume, and market conditions. Request a quote with your target quantity and ship-to location for current pricing and lead time.
