Manganous Dihydrogen Phosphate (CAS 18718-07-5), also widely known as Mazhef Salt or Acid Manganese Phosphate, is an inorganic phosphate salt primarily used as a phosphating agent for steel and iron surfaces. It forms a corrosion-resistant manganese phosphate coating that improves paint adhesion and extends the service life of machinery and components. It is also used as a micro-nutrient fertilizer (manganese source) and in ceramic/glass applications. Available in industrial grade with consistent manganese and phosphate content.
