Potassium Phosphate

Product Description

Potassium phosphate contains potassium (K) and phosphate (PO) ions.
Depending on the type, its exact composition varies:

Main forms

1. Monopotassium phosphate (KHPO)

   • Potassium

   • Dihydrogen phosphate

   • More acidic

2. Dipotassium phosphate (KHPO)

   • Potassium

   • Hydrogen phosphate

   • Mildly alkaline

3. Tripotassium phosphate (KPO)

   • Potassium

   • Phosphate

   • Strongly alkaline

Facts

• All potassium phosphates are inorganic salts

• No organic components

• Used as buffers, fertilizers, food additives, and pharmaceutical excipients

Possible wrong assumption

You may be assuming potassium phosphate is a single chemical. Its actually a family of salts, and the pH, application, and regulatory status depend heavily on which form it is.

Important missing context (please clarify)

• Which grade? (food / pharma / technical)

• Which application? (IV fluids, buffer, fertilizer, detergent, etc.)

• Do you need composition for MSDS, COA, label, or regulatory filling
