Sodium monofluorophosphate

In most sense, people shorten call the sodium monofluorophosphate as monofluorophosphate when referring to the toothpaste ingredients. It is not exactly right, but it makes sense. Because sodium mono flurophosphate is more and more widely used in the world.

This substance has anti-caries and anti-sensitizing properties that make it ideal for dental applications. Besides the application in oral health care, it has other grades in many fields.

What sodium monofluorophosphate does?

Calcium fluorophosphate

This chemical is an inorganic compound. It is a colorless, odorless crystal that is soluble in water. It can be decomposed into phosphoric acid and calcium fluoride at high temperature.

People also call calcium monofluorophosphate as:
Fluoroapatite
calcium fluorophosphate
Calcium trioxofluorophosphate
Fluoridophosphoric acid calcium salt

It can be used to prepare compounds such as calcium metal and dicalcium phosphate, as a catalyst and reagent, and as a water treatment agent.

Potassium Monofluorophosphate

The chemical is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula K2PO3F.

Potassium monofluorophosphate is similar in use to sodium monofluorophosphate. However, it is not as commonly used as sodium monofluorophosphate due to cost, stability, and solubility.
