It is used in the formulas of electro-catalysts in the coating industry. It is used in combination with formaldehyde to create electroless plating baths. This method in electroplating is not very old. These compositional variations contribute greatly to the efficiency of electroplating. It is used as a reducing agent in such applications.

It is used in model meat systems to inhibit gram negative anaerobic bacteria. Some spores are not inhibited but cell development and division of defective cells leads to cell lysis. In this area of use, the pH balance must be maintained very well. Bacteria use pH values very well to produce spores.

The strength of concrete is increased by using sodium hypophosphite in concrete admixture production. Slump of concrete is reduced. Depending on the amount of use, the strength of the concrete increases and the slump decreases. At the same time, with this additive used in concrete, the bleeding problem occurring in concrete is eliminated. In other words, the liquid on the concrete is prevented.

If we want to nickel coat plastic materials without using electricity, we should use sodium hypophosphite.

Hypophosphite is used to provide a flame retardant effect in the manufacture of substances produced to prevent fire. These uses include plastics.

It is used in the manufacture of polyacrylates.

Calcium Hypophosphite with similar properties is used as a source of phosphorus in fertilizer manufacturing.

It should be used to provide a smooth coating on ceramics.

It is an important component in the plating industry for the deposition of Cu and Ni metal ions at a given pH level, used in combination with formaldehyde.
