Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP)

Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) is widely used in the cleaning and sanitation industry as a water softener, detergent builder, and dispersing agent. It helps enhance the cleaning efficiency of detergents by binding to calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, preventing mineral buildup, and improving the performance of surfactants. STPP is commonly found in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners, boosting their effectiveness in breaking down grease, dirt, and stains.

Key Benefits and Uses of STPP:

• Water Softener and Chelating Agent
  Binds hardness ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺), allowing surfactants to work more efficiently.

• Boosts Detergent Performance
  Enhances the cleaning power of detergents in both soft and hard water environments.

• Dispersing and Anti-Redeposition Agent
  Keeps soils suspended in water to prevent them from redepositing on cleaned surfaces.

• Improves Grease and Stain Removal
  Commonly used in high-performance cleaning products to target oily and protein-based stains.

• Stable and Compatible in Formulations
  Functions well in powder, liquid, and solid detergent systems.

Common Application Include:

• Laundry Detergents and Powder Cleaners

• Automatic Dishwashing Liquids and Tablets

• Industrial Surface and Equipment Cleaners

• Institutional Floor and Wall Degreasers

• Multi-Purpose Hard Surface Cleaners
