Tetrakis Hydroxymethyl Phosphonium Sulfate

Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate is abbreviated as THPS, The CAS No. is 55566-30-8. Due to its PH value in the range of 3-5, so it is a weakly acidic fungicide, which has a certain killing effect on Microcystis aeruginosa, Chromococcus, Coccus coelicolor, Hirakatsura, Spirulina, Tremella, Sphingomonas, and Ferrous Sulfite Reducing Agents, and so on.. Phosphorus tetramethylmethyl sulfate also has important uses in leather flame retardant, garbage deodorization, oil field water treatment, aquaculture. The degradation products are inorganic sulfate compounds, harmless to the environment, and the degradation products are one of the fertilizer sources for some plants.

Basic information：

English name: Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate(THPS)

CAS number: 55566-30-8

H.S code: 2931909090

Molecular weight :406.27

Molecular formula: [(CH2OH)4P]2SO4

EINECS number: 259-709-0

Freezing point: -35℃

Boiling point: 111℃

Flash point: 96℃

Physical and chemical properties and molecular weight: colorless transparent liquid, soluble in water, insoluble in acetone and ethanol.

Mechanism of action:

1， The molecular structural formula contains 4 -OH. As -OH is a charged polar group, these polar groups have a strong destructive effect on the cell wall, protein, nucleic acid and enzyme system of bacteria and other microorganisms, and can inhibit or kill harmful microorganisms at a certain concentration.

2，The -OH in Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate has a strong oxidizing ability, which has a strong destructive effect on some structures of microorganisms, especially on cell membranes. After oxidizing cell membranes, -OH will further oxidize and decompose a large number of enzymes in microorganisms, and REDOX the products of various spatial structures of bacteria and other microorganisms. Thus disrupting the normal physiological mechanism of microorganisms.

Indicators：

Product features:

1, Good stability, almost no moisture absorption, oxidation, decomposition, etc. The shelf life of this product can up to 2 years under the general temperature warehouse.

2, Environmental protection, after a series of REDOX reactions, the degradation products are sulfate, phosphate, etc., harmless to the environment.

3, Can be combined with a variety of fungicides, in ethanol, propylene glycol and other additives also has a good solubility, the compound fungicide is generally not easy to precipitate, is not easy to produce flocculent.

4, Safe to use, although the product is weakly acidic, but after dilution has no stimulating effect on humans and animals, the use is relatively safe.

5, Ultra-low freezing point, because the freezing point of Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate is -35℃, it does not affect the use of low temperature, which is an advantage that many fungicides do not have.

Note:

1, It is strictly prohibited to use with potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite and other strong oxidants, otherwise it will lead to failure.

2, It is strictly prohibited to use with strong alkaline chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, otherwise it will lead to product decomposition.

3. Some metal ions may have a decreasing effect on Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate.

Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate should be used in water treatment in a small amount of times. Excessive use in a short time may lead to an increase in the phosphorus content in the water, resulting in the risk of cyanobacteria outbreak. It can be used alternately with potassium bisulfate complex salt, Bacillus and other beneficial fungi, while increasing the dissolved oxygen in the water as much as possible. Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate is generally used in combination with other fungicides and mildew prevention agents in oilfield water treatment, and the resistance cycle of harmful microorganisms is generally 3-5 years, and then other different types of fungicides can be used alternately.
