Monosodium Phosphate (MSP) and Disodium Phosphate (DSP) are mineral salts derived from phosphoric acid that play a crucial role in optimizing processes and product quality. These compounds act as buffers to regulate the pH environment, prevent caking in powdered products, and improve texture, flavor, and shelf life in the food industry. They are also used in the pharmaceutical industry for drug formulation and in the chemical industry as auxiliaries in reactions or stabilizers. Furthermore, due to their high solubility and compatibility with various compounds, MSP and DSP are ideal choices for use in products sensitive to chemical changes. The multifunctional role of these salts ensures that their presence in industrial and pharmaceutical formulations guarantees performance stability, increased efficiency, and enhanced final product quality.

Features and Applications of Monosodium Phosphate (MSP) and Disodium Phosphate (DSP)
Products and Applications of Each Product at Karoon Phosphate Products Complex
In the food industry, monosodium phosphate and disodium phosphate are used as stabilizers, acidity regulators, and texture enhancers. They serve as safe alternatives to toxic nitrites and help preserve the quality and safety of food products by extending shelf life.
In the textile industry, monosodium phosphate and disodium phosphate are used as pH stabilizers and fiber softeners. These compounds help improve dye absorption and enhance fabric durability and quality by stabilizing color and controlling alkalinity.
In synthetic detergents, especially laundry powders, monosodium phosphate and disodium phosphate make up 30 to 50 percent of the formulation. These compounds create alkalinity, prevent particle precipitation, and reduce water hardness, significantly enhancing the cleaning power of detergents.
In the tile and ceramic industry, this compound is used as a dispersant (deflocculant) to improve slurry flowability and reduce particle adhesion. Monosodium phosphate and disodium phosphate reduce the viscosity of the mixture, facilitating shaping and molding processes, and enhancing the surface quality of the final product.
