What are the physical properties of sodium monofluorophosphate ?

Physical properties of sodium monofluorophosphate include:

Chemical formula: Na2PO3F
Melting point: 625°C
Density: 2.5 g/cm³
Appearance: White crystalline powder
Solubility: soluble in water

Na2PO3F

The chemical formula indicates that it is composed of four elements: sodium (Na), phosphorus (P), oxygen (O) and fluorine (F). Among them, sodium (Na) of the valence of +1, phosphorus (P) of the valence of +5, oxygen (O) of the valence of -2, fluorine (F) of the valence of -1.

The fluorin (F) exists in an ionic state. In the oral environment, sodium monofluorophosphate is broken down by acids or saliva, releasing fluoride ions, which react with crystals on the surface of tooth enamel to produce fluorapatite, thereby increasing tooth resistance and inhibiting the formation of caries.

Melting poit

Sodium monofluorophosphate has a melting point of 625°C. This property gives sodium monofluorophosphate good stability at high temperatures.

This property makes sodium monofluorophosphate have good stability in high temperature environment, which is suitable for industrial applications requiring high temperature resistance.

Appearance

Sodium mono fluorophosphate is characterized by its appearance as a white powder or crystal, which is the common form.

Solubility

The substance is extremely water soluble, especially in water at 25 degrees Celsius, where up to 42 grams of sodium monofluorophosphate can be dissolved per 100 grams of water. Notably, it is significantly hygroscopic, meaning that it may absorb water in environments with high humidity.

Due to its solubility in water and hygroscopicity, the packaging materials need to be sealed and have the characteristics of waterproof and moisture-proof. Generally, chemical kraft paper bags are used as packaging containers for these chemicals. Whwanze uses packaging kraft paper bags from the big brand packaging materials company, all materials and processing have been strictly inspected, quality assurance, can be applied to long-distance transportation, and long-term storage of chemicals.

Besides the kraft paper bags, we also use barrels as the packages according to clients requirement.

Above are the explanations of the sodium monoflurophosphate physical properties. There are sodium monofluorophosphate chemical properties explained in other blog. Because of these properties, sodium monofluorophosphate has many applications in different fields, and play an important part in modern lives.
