Description
White, crystalline, hygroscopic powder. Dibasic sodium phosphate, or DSP, occurs in several hydrated forms from anhydrous to dodecahydrate. It is used in the manufacture of dyes, fertilizers, detergents, ceramics, and enamels. DSP is used as a Sequestrant, Emulsifier, and fire retardant. It acts as a Mordant in dyeing and is used for weighting Silk. DSP is also used as a replacement for Borax in soldering and brazing. In addition, DSP is used in bleach baths for color photographs.
Synonyms and Related Terms
DSP; disodium phosphate; secondary sodium orthophosphate; disodium hydrogen phosphate; phosphate of soda; Sorensen's phosphate (dihydrate)
