Description
Monocalcium Phosphate
Monocalcium phosphate is an inorganic compound with the chemical
formula Ca(H2PO4)2 ("ACMP" or "CMP-A" for anhydrous monocalcium
phosphate). It is commonly found as the monohydrate (""MCP" or
"MCP-M"), Ca(H2PO4)*-H2O (CAS# *********8). Both salts are
colourless solids. They are used mainly as superphosphate
fertilizers and are also popular leavening agents.[
