Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate
What is Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate?
Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (CAS 78948-87-5), also marketed as MMPP or Interox H-48, is a stable solid peroxy acid salt used as an oxidizing agent.
Where is Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate used?
- Textile and paper processing: bleaches natural fibers and pulp without aggressive fiber degradation
- Leather manufacturing: oxidizes tanning residues
- Home care and industrial cleaning: active bleaching agent in powder detergents and stain removers
- Disinfectant blends and personal care: tooth-whitening preparations and topical antimicrobial formulations
- In dry formulations it delivers controlled oxidative activity for bleaching and biocidal functions.
Good to know: Unlike liquid peroxide systems, it provides controlled oxidative activity in dry formulations. Buyers should confirm active oxygen content and moisture specifications.
Commercial specifications
- Active oxygen content specification relevant to oxidizing performance
- Supply quantities from laboratory-scale packaging to bulk industrial quantities
