Disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) is a white powder that is highly hygroscopic and water soluble salt.[1] It is therefore used commercially as an anti-caking additive in powdered products. It is also known as disodium hydrogen orthophosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphate or sodium phosphate dibasic. It is commercially available in both the hydrated and anhydrous forms.[2]

Uses

  • Disodium phosphate can be used in cream of wheat to quicken cook time. [citation needed]
  • Disodium phosphate is in McDonald's Ice Cream.
  • Disodium Phosphate is used in conjunction with Trisodium Phosphate in many steam boiler applications. It supplies the inventory of free phosphates to retard calcium scale formation.
