Magnesium phosphate hydrate
Description
Magnesium phosphate hydrate (CAS 53408-95-0) is an inorganic mineral salt combining magnesium and phosphate in a hydrated form. It functions as a pH buffer, mineral supplement source, and preservation aid across various industries.
In food and nutraceutical manufacturing, it serves as a mineral fortification agent and buffering component in dry blends, tablets, and functional food formulations. This versatile compound supports diverse production needs.
Pharmaceutical producers use it as an excipient in tablet and capsule production, where controlled pH and mineral content are critical to formulation stability. It ensures consistent quality in medicinal products.
In agriculture and animal feed, it supplies bioavailable magnesium and phosphorus to support soil amendment programs and feed mineral premixes. These applications are essential for healthy crop and livestock growth.
Water treatment operations apply it for pH correction and scale control in process water systems. This helps maintain equipment efficiency and prevents mineral buildup in industrial infrastructure.
Magnesium phosphate hydrate is typically supplied as a white powder or fine granules suited to dry blending and compaction processes. These physical properties allow for easy integration into existing manufacturing lines.
Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are available to meet FCC and USP compliance requirements where purity documentation is required. This ensures the highest safety standards for human consumption.
Technical-grade material is also offered for agricultural and industrial water treatment applications where tighter purity thresholds are not mandated. We provide various grades to suit your specific industrial requirements.
