Intech - Model P2O5 - CAS - 1314-56-3 -Phosphorus Pentoxide

Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2O5) is a white crystalline powder commonly used as a desiccant or drying agent in various industrial applications. It reacts vigorously with water to produce Phosphoric Acid. This makes it an important ingredient in the production of Phosphoric Acid and other phosphorus compounds. Besides its use as a drying agent, Phosphorus Pentoxide is used as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of esters, anhydrides, and acid halides. It can also be used as a source of phosphorus in fertilizers and is an important component in the manufacturing of flame retardants.
