Overview
Trisodium phosphate (Na₃PO₄), with a molecular weight of 163.94, is a white crystal or powder at room temperature, easily soluble in water, and the aqueous solution is strongly alkaline (pH usually between 11.5-12.5). According to the different content of water of crystallization, it can be divided into anhydrous trisodium phosphate and aqueous trisodium phosphate (such as trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate). Industrial grade trisodium phosphate has excellent alkalinity and chelating ability, which can effectively remove grease, dirt and metal ions. When using and storing, it should be protected from moisture and avoid contact with acidic substances.

Application | Finished products with trisodium phosphate as raw material are widely used in industry, food and water treatment. In the field of industrial cleaning agent, trisodium phosphate is often compounded with other surfactants and detergents to make powerful cleaning agent, which is used for removing oil and dirt in metal surface treatment, textile printing and dyeing and other industrial processes. Due to its alkalinity, it can saponify oil and grease and improve cleaning efficiency. In the field of water treatment, trisodium phosphate is used as a water softener to reduce the hardness of water by forming insoluble precipitation with calcium and magnesium ions in the water, preventing boiler scaling and pipe clogging. In the food industry, trisodium phosphate, as a food additive, can be used as acidity regulator, emulsifier, water retention agent, etc. For example, in meat processing, it can improve the water holding capacity of meat and improve the taste; in dairy processing, it can regulate the pH value and prevent the protein from coagulating. When using products containing trisodium phosphate, the concentration should be controlled according to specific application scenarios and relevant regulations to avoid adverse effects on the environment and human body. |
