Product Introduction
Phosphorus Pentoxide (CAS 1314-56-3), also known as Phosphoric Anhydride, is a white crystalline powder with the empirical formula P2O5 (molecular formula P4O10). It is one of the most powerful dehydrating agents known to chemistry, reacting violently with water to form phosphoric acid. Phosphorus Pentoxide (CAS 1314-56-3) is a versatile reagent used extensively in laboratory and industrial settings to remove water from gases and liquids, and as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of specialized phosphorus compounds. Chemfine provides a highly refined powder with consistent particle size and exceptional purity.

Packaging
Standard industrial packaging options for Phosphorus Pentoxide include:
-
25kg or 50kg heavy-duty steel drums with specialized moisture-barrier inner liners.
-
200kg bulk drums for large-scale chemical manufacturing facilities.
-
Small vacuum-sealed bottles for laboratory and R&D use.
-
All packaging is hermetically sealed and nitrogen-purged to ensure the product remains anhydrous until the point of use.
Storage
Phosphorus Pentoxide is extremely hygroscopic and corrosive. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated warehouse. Containers must be kept tightly sealed and stored away from all sources of moisture. Store in a dedicated area for corrosive substances. Keep away from strong bases, alcohols, and metals. Do not store near flammable materials. Properly stored in its original, unopened moisture-proof container, it has a shelf life of at least 24 months.
