Product overview
Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) is a phosphate ingredient evaluated for buffering, sequestration, moisture retention and texture control. It is commonly evaluated for Moisture retention and texture systems, Detergent builder, Water softening and sequestration. Supply for food, feed or healthcare use requires the appropriate grade, specification and destination-market compliance review.
Function & Usage
- Retain Moisture & Improve Phosphate Performance
Supports water holding, protein functionality, sequestration and texture in suitable processed-food systems. Typical uses: Moisture retention and texture systems, Detergent builder, Water softening and sequestration.
- Build Detergency & Remove Soil
Supports wetting, detergency, grease removal, foam or soil suspension in suitable cleaning formulations. Typical uses: Moisture retention and texture systems, Detergent builder, Water softening and sequestration.
- Chelate Metals & Soften Water
Chelates or sequesters metal ions to support water softening, detergency and process stability. Typical uses: Moisture retention and texture systems, Detergent builder, Water softening and sequestration.
- Disperse Solids & Control Deposits
Disperses particles or helps limit redeposition, scale, sludge and other deposits in suitable aqueous systems. Typical uses: Moisture retention and texture systems, Detergent builder, Water softening and sequestration.
