Description::
Application::
Sodium hypophosphite monohydrate is used for electroless nickel plating agent and water treatment agent. It is also used in petroleum fields. Further, it is used as a food additive. In addition, it reduces nickel ions in solution to metallic nickel on metal substrates as well as on plastic substrates.
Technical Specifications::
Dose::
Hypophosphoric acid can be prepared by the reaction of red phosphorus with sodium chlorite at room temperature. A mixture of hypophosphoric acid, phosphorous acid (H3PO3) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is produced when white phosphorus oxidises in air when partially immersed in water.

Related Information::
Hypophosphorous acid can also be made by passing sodium hypophosphite through a cation exchange column, where sodium is exchanged for hydrogen. This process requires a very large cation exchange column, and also generates an aqueous waste stream that contains phosphorus, which is difficult to dispose of.
