Full Description

Sodium phytate (CAS 14306-25-3) is the sodium salt of phytic acid, a naturally derived inositol hexaphosphate. It is used as a chelating agent that binds metal ions in formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sodium phytate the same as phytic acid?

No, but they are directly related. Sodium phytate (CAS 14306-25-3) is the sodium salt of phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate). The salt form is more water-soluble and is what is typically used in formulations as a chelating agent.

Is sodium phytate natural or synthetic?

It is the sodium salt of phytic acid, a naturally derived inositol hexaphosphate. Sourcing and processing vary by grade, so confirm the origin and specification against the CoA for your lot. RawSource supplies it for industrial and personal-care formulation use.

What is sodium phytate used for?

It is used as a chelating agent that sequesters trace metal ions, which supports formulation stability. It is common as a chelator in cosmetic and personal-care formulations. RawSource supplies it as a formulation-grade ingredient in bulk.

Is sodium phytate water soluble?

Yes. As the sodium salt of phytic acid it is water-soluble, which is what makes it effective at binding metal ions in aqueous formulations. Confirm the supplied concentration or form against your CoA.

What bulk packaging and documentation does RawSource provide for sodium phytate?

RawSource ships to manufacturers in drums, totes, or IBCs matched to grade and order volume, with a CoA and SDS on every order. Request a quote with your target quantity and required specification for delivered pricing.
