SODIUM HYPOPHOSPHITE 99% (hydrated) - 500 gm

Description

Sodium hypophosphite by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as sodium phosphinate, this is the sodium salt of hypophosphorous acid. The reagent is available as a white powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 90 C. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 10039-56-2 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: NaH2PO2.H2O Molecular weight: 105.99 Assay: Minimum 99 Sodium hypophosphite has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivative compounds. Sodium hypophosphite is chiefly utilized for electroless nickel plating (Ni-P). This facilitates the coating of objects with irregular surfaces, such as in avionics, aviation and the petroleum field. The compound can additionally reduce nickel ions in solution to metallic nickel on metal substrates as well as on plastic substrates. Sodium hypophosphite can further be used as a food additive. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
