--Product Description
Sodium Hypophosphite is a powerful reducing agent mainly used in electroless nickel plating (ENP) and various chemical synthesis processes. It offers strong reducing capacity, thermal stability, and solubility in water, making it ideal for electronics, surface finishing, catalysis, and even flame retardant formulations.
Its high reactivity and purity make it essential for metal surface treatment, especially in non-cyanide plating baths.
-- Key Applications
Electroless Nickel Plating (ENP)
As the primary reducing agent in metal surface finishing; allows uniform nickel deposition without electricity.
Reducing Agent
In pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical synthesis.
Flame Retardant
Intermediate in production of phosphinate-based flame retardant additives.
Catalysis / Stabilization
Acts as a catalyst stabilizer in certain polymer and resin systems.
