About Sodium Hypophosphite
Sodium Hypophosphite is the sodium salt of hypophosphorous acid (also called phosphinic acid). It commonly exists as a monohydrate (NaH₂PO₂·H₂O) in commercial supplies. In its pure form, it appears as white or colorless crystalline powder or granules that are odorless and hygroscopic under high humidity.
From a chemical standpoint, Sodium Hypophosphite is a powerful reducing agent. It is capable of donating electrons and thus can reduce metal ions or other species in solution. This reducing ability gives it key importance in electroless plating formulations and other redox chemistries.
Its industrial relevance stems from its use in depositing metallic films without the need for external electrical current. It also finds roles in specialty chemical synthesis due to its controlled reductive behavior. At Pandora Industries, we maintain tight control on moisture content and impurity levels so that the delivered Sodium Hypophosphite performs predictably in downstream applications.
In many sectors, purity and batch consistency are critical. Sodium Hypophosphite with trace impurities or variable moisture can alter reaction kinetics or deposition quality. That is why we focus on rigorous quality assurance — ensuring that our clients receive chemical material they can integrate into their process without uncertainty.
Over time, demand for higher performance coatings, thinner layers, and cleaner chemistries has elevated the role of Sodium Hypophosphite in advanced manufacturing. As processes evolve, the need for a dependable supplier becomes ever more crucial.
Applications of Sodium Hypophosphite
Below are some of the principal industrial uses of Sodium Hypophosphite and how it functions in those contexts -
Electroless Nickel Plating
In electroless nickel plating, Sodium Hypophosphite serves as the reducing agent. It reduces nickel ions in solution to metallic nickel, depositing a uniform nickel-phosphorus alloy layer on a substrate (metal or activated plastic). This coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and hardness, making it ideal for automotive, electronics, and precision parts industries.
Catalyst & Chemical Synthesis
Sodium Hypophosphite finds use as a mild chemical reducer in synthetic chemistry. It can selectively reduce certain functional groups or metal ions under controlled conditions. In catalyst preparation or specialty chemical manufacturing, it helps in reducing metal salts to their active metallic forms in situ.
Flame Retardant / Phosphorus-Based Systems
Because hypophosphite moieties carry phosphorus in a reduced state, Sodium Hypophosphite is used in the formulation of flame retardant additives in polymers and composites. It can help generate phosphorus-based radicals or stabilize radicals during thermal degradation, contributing to fire-retardant performance in materials likePVC and wood composites.
Water Treatment & Corrosion Control
In some water treatment systems or boiler chemical blends, Sodium Hypophosphite is used to scavenge oxygen or to stabilize certain redox balances. Its reducing property helps suppress oxidative species or corrosive ions, thereby protecting metal surfaces in process equipment or pipelines.
The flexibility of Sodium Hypophosphite supplied by Pandora Industries ensures it can be trusted across India and in export markets.
Technical Properties of Sodium Hypophosphite
Sodium Hypophosphite Alternative Names
Sodium phosphinate; Sodium hypophosphite monohydrate; Antiformin; Sodium phosphinite
Sodium Hypophosphite CAS Number
10039-56-2 (monohydrate), 7681-53-0 (anhydrous)
Sodium Hypophosphite Chemical Formula
NaH₂PO₂·H₂O (monohydrate), sometimes written NaH₂PO₂ (anhydrous)
Sodium Hypophosphite Molecular Weight
105.99 g/mol (monohydrate)
Sodium Hypophosphite Appearance
White to colorless crystalline powder or granules, odorless and hygroscopic
Sodium Hypophosphite Melting Point
Decomposes at elevated temperature (no true melting); monohydrate forms decompose before melting
Sodium Hypophosphite Boiling Point
Not applicable; decomposes rather than boils under normal conditions
Sodium Hypophosphite Solubility
Highly soluble in water, also soluble in glycerol, ethanol, ethylene glycol; insoluble in ether
Sodium Hypophosphite Density
