FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is CAS 7681-53-0 the same as the monohydrate CAS?
A: No. CAS 7681-53-0 refers to sodium hypophosphite (NaH₂PO₂); the monohydrate NaH₂PO₂·H₂O has CAS 10039-56-2. Before comparing offers, confirm the actual hydrate state, CAS number, assay basis and batch specification. Hypophosphorous acid and sodium phosphite are different substances. -
Q:
Which specifications matter for electroless nickel-grade Sodium Hypophosphite?
A: Agree assay and reducing-value basis, water-insoluble matter, chloride, sulfate, phosphite or phosphate, pH and application-relevant metals such as iron, calcium and heavy metals. Particle form and dissolution behavior may also affect solution preparation. Compare the batch COA and test methods with the plating-bath specification before qualification. -
Q:
How should bulk Sodium Hypophosphite be packed and documented?
A: Specify net weight, a moisture-barrier liner, closure, palletization and acceptable caking for the offered form. Check seals and minimize exposure to humid air during sampling. Confirm the current SDS, lot traceability and destination-country import or precursor documentation before shipment, as regulatory controls can vary by market.
