سدیم تری پلی فسفات

Sodium Tripolyphosphate is an inorganic compound widely used in detergents, water treatment, and food processing industries.

🏭⚗️ Production
Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) is produced by heating a mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate, followed by controlled cooling and drying. The resulting white crystalline powder is then milled and packaged under controlled conditions to prevent moisture absorption.

🔬 Properties
STPP appears as a white, odorless crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water, forming alkaline solutions. It acts as a sequestering agent by binding metal ions and exhibits buffering properties. It is stable under normal storage but can hydrolyze slowly in moist conditions.

🧪 Applications
Sodium tripolyphosphate is commonly used as a builder in detergents to enhance cleaning efficiency, in water softening, as a food additive to improve texture and moisture retention, and in ceramics and water treatment processes.

⚠️ Safety
Handle with care; STPP may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use gloves, eye protection, and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Dispose of waste according to local chemical safety regulations.
