Overview of Phosphorous Acid

Phosphorous Acid is an important inorganic acid commonly used in agrochemicals, water treatment, metal processing, and speciality chemical manufacturing. It appears as a colourless crystalline solid or aqueous solution and is known for its strong reducing properties. Due to its high reactivity and controlled acidity, phosphorous acid is widely used as an intermediate in various industrial processes.

In industrial formulations, Phosphorous Acid is valued for its purity, stability, and consistent performance. It is frequently used alongside Phosphoric Acid, Nitric Acid, and Potassium Phosphite, available on ChemicalBull, offering complete solutions for agrochemical production, corrosion control, and industrial synthesis.

 

Applications of Phosphorous Acid

Agrochemicals & Fertilizers

  • Used in the production of phosphite-based fertilizers

  • Acts as a precursor for fungicides and plant nutrition products


Chemical Manufacturing

  • Key intermediate in synthesising phosphonates and organophosphorus compounds

  • Used as a reducing agent in chemical reactions


Water Treatment

  • Helps control scale formation and corrosion in water systems

  • Used in cooling towers and industrial water circuits


Metal Processing

  • Used in surface treatment and corrosion inhibition

  • Improves metal stability during industrial processing


Industrial & Speciality Chemicals

  • Used in resin stabilisation and polymer formulations

  • Supports controlled chemical reactions in speciality manufacturing

 

Safety & Handling Guidelines

  • Use chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing

  • Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. What is Phosphorous Acid used for?

    It is used in agrochemicals, water treatment, metal processing, and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis.

  2. Is Phosphorous Acid the same as Phosphoric Acid?

    No. Phosphorous acid is a reducing agent, while phosphoric acid is not and is used mainly as an acidulant and fertilizer raw material.

  3. Can Phosphorous Acid be used in fertilisers?

    Yes, it is widely used to produce phosphite-based fertilisers and plant protection products.
