Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate

Product Overview & Quality

  • Product Name: Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (Monoammonium phosphate)
  • Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-035)
  • Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 99 percent or higher. Meticulously manufactured and verified under Kemaus strict laboratory quality control standards to ensure exceptionally low trace levels of heavy metals, chlorides, and sulfates. This high-purity profile provides maximum operational accuracy and clean analytical baselines.
  • Physical Properties: Odorless, colorless crystals or white crystalline powder. Highly stable under ambient air conditions.
  • Solubility: Highly soluble in water (solubility increases significantly in hot water); practically insoluble in alcohol. Yields a mildly acidic aqueous solution.
  • Key Use: Widely utilized as a primary chemical reagent for preparing standard phosphate buffer solutions to stabilize acidic to neutral pH environments in biochemical and analytical workflows. Commonly applied as a reliable reference standard for phosphate and ammonium quantification assays. Also heavily used in materials science research for examining advanced flame retardant coatings, and serves as an ultra-pure nutrient source in botanical R&D and plant tissue cultures to study specific macro-nutrient dynamics.

Safety & Hazards

  • Classification: Not classified as a dangerous substance according to GHS regulations. It exhibits a highly stable chemical profile with low toxicity. Acts as a mild physical and mechanical dust irritant.
  • Health Risks: Direct eye contact with fine dust or crystals triggers temporary mechanical irritation, watering, and minor redness. Prolonged skin contact may cause slight localized dryness. Inhalation of airborne particles may induce coughing or sneezing.
  • First Aid Measures: Flush eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical evaluation if irritation develops or persists.

Handling & Storage

  • Storage: Mildly Hygroscopic. It can absorb ambient moisture from high-humidity environmental air, which may cause physical caking or clumping over time. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep strictly separated from strong acids and strong bases (reactions with strong bases will liberate volatile ammonia gas).
  • Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Secure the container cap tightly immediately after each volumetric dispensing.
