Description
Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na3PO4. It is a colorless to white crystalline or crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution but insoluble in ethanol.
Usage
Phosphate has a very wide range of applications, as phosphate fertilizer is one of its most important applications, some other areas include phosphate molecular sieve, electronics, materials, biology, etc.
Trisodium phosphate is a very important phosphate.
Sodium phosphate is often used as a water softener and boiler cleaner in the textile, printing and dyeing, paper, power generation and chemical industries, as well as a rust remover for metals, a purifier for sugar juice and a coagulant for rubber emulsions.
Industrial grade trisodium phosphate is used as water softener and detergent, metal descaling agent, boiler scale inhibitor in chemical, textile, printing and dyeing, paper making, power generation and other industries, with the advantages of easy to use and cheap price.
Can metal descaling, cleaning agent, because trisodium phosphate in water can enhance the wetting ability of water, has a certain penetration and emulsification effect, and therefore can effectively remove the metal surface dirt. It can make the calcium, magnesium, iron and other metal ions in water into the corresponding insoluble phosphate precipitation. And the excess trisodium phosphate can work with the generated boiler furnace scale, so that it gradually loosens and falls off.
Food grade trisodium phosphate can improve the coagulation and water retention of food because its own alkalinity can increase food pH and ionic strength, and also increase the complexed metal ions in food.
In addition, trisodium phosphate can also be used as acid-base buffer, mercerization enhancer, coagulant and printing and dyeing color fixing agent, etc.
