Property: White crystal, easily absorbing moisture and be slaked in the air, easily soluble in water and alcohol. 

 

Stability

spontaneously flammable phosphine gas when heated. Stable under ordinary conditions but explosive in contact with oxidizers

 

Usage

Sodium Hypophosphite is often applied as reductant in electroless deposition of nickel (Nickel Chloride, buffers.) It builds complexes with the nickel in the bath, improving the fineness of the surface after treatment.

 

The sodium hypophosphite produced by our factories is the most stable in China.
