Short description

Product name: Potassium hydrogenphosphate, Dipotassium phosphate Chemical name: Dipotassium phosphate, dikali phosphate Other names: Potassium monohydrogen phosphate, Phosphoric acid dipotassium salt, dibasic Potassium phosphate, dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate Formula: K2HPO4 Appearance: White powder Packing: 25kg/bag Origin: China CAS No.: 7758-11-4 EC No.: 231-834-5 Pubche No.: 24450 Dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4) (also dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate; potassium phosphate dibasic) is a highly water-soluble salt which is often used as a fertilizer, food additive and buffering agent. It is a common source of phosphorus and potassium. A dipotassium phosphate solution is formed by the stoichiometric reaction of phosphoric acid with two equivalents of potassium hydroxide: H3PO4 + 2 KOH → K2HPO4 + 2 H2O Uses: As a food additive, dipotassium phosphate is used in imitation dairy creamers, dry powder beverages, mineral supplements, and starter cultures. It is used in non-dairy creamers to prevent coagulation. Dipotassium phosphate is also used to make buffer solutions and it is used in the production of trypticase soy agar which is used to make agar plates for culturing bacteria.[citation needed] A 3% gel of dipotassium phosphate is used as the active ingredient in Crest Sensi-Strips, a common tooth sensitivity product.
