POTASSIUM DIPHOSPHATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium diphosphate (K4P2O7), also known as dipotassium pyrophosphate, is a white, crystalline solid used as a buffering agent, sequestrant, and emulsifier in food processing. It is also employed in the manufacture of detergents, water treatment, and as a laboratory reagent. Potassium diphosphate can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Proper handling includes the use of protective equipment such as gloves and goggles. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like strong acids. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Potassium diphosphate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in providing essential buffering and emulsifying properties in various industrial and food applications.
