Monopotassium Phosphate

Monopotassium phosphate (also, potassium dihydrogenphosphate, KDP, or monobasic potassium phosphate) is the inorganic compound. Together with dipotassium phosphate it is often used as a fertilizer, food additive, and buffering agent. The salt often cocrystallizes with the dipotassium salt as well as with phosphoric acid.

Single crystals are paraelectric at room temperature. At temperatures below −150 °C (−238 °F), they become ferroelectric.

Usage of Monopotassium Phosphate:

Manufacturing, Agriculture, Food and other.

Monopotassium phosphate is produced by the action of phosphoric acid on potassium carbonate.
