Physical Description
Sodium phosphate, dibasic appears as a colorless to white crystalline solid. Soluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit spread to the environment. Used as a fertilizer, in pharmaceuticals, in food processing, and for many other uses.
