Specification: |
?Potassium phosphate, tribasic , its cas register number is 7778-53-2. It also can be called CCRIS 7321?; Phosphoric acid, tripotassium salt ; Potassium orthophosphate ; Potassium phosphate ; Potassium phosphate (K3PO4) ; Potassium phosphate, tribasic ; Tripotassium phosphate ; and UNII-16D59922JU?.
?Potassium phosphate, tribasic (CAS NO.7778-53-2) could be?stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It?absorbs moisture or water from the air. It should avoid the condition like incompatible materials, exposure to moist air or water. It is not compatible with strong oxidizing agents. However, its hazardous polymerization will not occur. In addition,?be sure that Potassium phosphate, tribasic (CAS NO.7778-53-2) is not necessary to strain to reach materials, and that shelves are not overloaded. Use shelves or cabinets sturdy enough to bear the weight of the chemicals.
