Sodium tripolyphosphate: a softener, tanning agent, flame retardant & food additive
This colourless sodium salt is produced under carefully-managed conditions by heating a mixture of disodium phosphate and monosodium phosphate. This method produces around 2 million tonnes of STPP annually.
As a water softener with a relatively low environmental impact and toxicity level, STPP is prime for use in the detergents and cleaning industry. Commercial detergency products account for the majority of STPP consumption.
A non-flammable compound, STPP also holds use across the textile industry as a synthetic leather tanning agent and masking agent. It also holds use in anticaking agents, flame retardants, rubber manufacture, ceramics (for decreasing viscosity) and much more.
