Guanidine phosphate CAS#5423-23-4
High Purity and Appearance – Appears as a white crystalline powder or crystal; high-purity products are pure white and free of visible impurities.
Excellent Water Solubility – Highly soluble in water, forming a colorless and transparent solution, even at concentrations like 4%.
Stable Aqueous Solution – Solutions remain clear without turbidity, ensuring reliable performance in applications requiring aqueous media.
Selective Solubility – Poor solubility in organic solvents, making it suitable for applications where water solubility is preferred and organic solvent interference is undesirable.
Guanidine phosphate, with the molecular formula CH₆N₃·H₃PO₄ (or more precisely C(NH₂)₃H₂PO₄) and a molecular weight of approximately 170.09, is a salt formed from guanidine and phosphoric acid. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder or crystals, with higher-purity products being pure white and free from visible impurities. The compound is highly soluble in water, producing a colorless and transparent solution (e.g., a 4% aqueous solution is clear), while it has low solubility in organic solvents.
