Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP)

What is STPP?

Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) is an inorganic chemical known by other names such as pentasodium salt and triphosphoric acid.

It is a combination of polymer and solid that can also be harmful to the environment. It is used as a raw material for detergents, soaps and cleaners.

Two million tons of this substance are consumed annually in the world. This substance is in the group of safe compounds. It is completely stable in the environment. The pH of sodium triphosphate is 9.4, the high buffering properties of this material make acid stains easily removed. For this reason, this substance is used in all kinds of household and industrial detergents.

STPP is hydrolyzed in the presence of H2O and converted to phosphors such as orthophosphate.

Heavy STPP

Heavy sodium tripolyphosphate is actually a mass of sodium tripolyphosphate particles that has a lower density than the non-solid type. Dry sodium phosphate, recycled sodium triphosphate and H2O are used to make this compound. Temperatures of 400 and 550 ° C should be used to mix these materials. The resulting compound is used in the production of detergents.

Consumption

Applications of oral sodium polyphosphate include its role in stabilizing, increasing solubility, moisture and fat binding agent, emulsifying agent and… in the field of food. In the dairy and meat industries, this material is also used to package products.
