Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate
Description
Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (CAS 78948-87-5), commercially known as MMPP or Interox H-48, is a stable solid peroxy acid salt used as an oxidizing agent across industrial and specialty cleaning applications.
Unlike liquid peroxide systems, it delivers controlled oxidative activity in dry formulations, making it a practical choice for formulators handling bleaching and biocidal functions in a single ingredient.
In textile and paper processing, MMPP bleaches natural fibers and pulp without the aggressive fiber degradation associated with hypochlorite systems. Leather manufacturers use it to oxidize tanning residues.
This chemical helps achieve consistent surface brightness in finished hides. In home care and industrial cleaning formulations, it functions as an active bleaching agent in powder detergents and stain removers.
It is also utilized in disinfectant blends and personal care applications. These include tooth-whitening preparations and topical antimicrobial formulations where a stable, dry oxidant source is required.
Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate is supplied as a white to off-white powder, typically with an active oxygen content specification relevant to its oxidizing performance for various industrial needs.
It is available in technical grade, with supply quantities ranging from laboratory-scale packaging to bulk industrial quantities. Buyers should confirm active oxygen content and moisture specifications.
Evaluating lots for formulation use ensures the material meets the necessary standards for efficacy. This stable oxidant remains a versatile component for modern chemical manufacturing and cleaning solutions.
