Description :

Overview of Red Phosphorus

Red Phosphorus is a stable, non-volatile allotropic form of phosphorus widely used in chemical manufacturing, flame-retardant systems, match production, and specialty industrial applications. It appears as a dark red to violet-brown amorphous powder and is significantly less reactive and safer to handle than white phosphorus, making it suitable for controlled industrial use.

Due to its high thermal stability, controlled reactivity, and excellent flame-retardant properties, Red Phosphorus is extensively used in electrical, polymer, and safety-critical applications. It plays an essential role in modern material science and chemical synthesis.

Related products available on our website and commonly used in similar industrial applications include Phosphorus Pentoxide, Phosphorus Trichloride, Phosphoric Acid, and Calcium Phosphate. These chemicals are widely applied in phosphorus-based formulations, flame retardants, and chemical processing industries.
