Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP)
A phosphate salt for detergent and ceramics production.
A closer look at the productSodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP)
Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP)
at a glance.
Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) is one of the industrial phosphate chemicals. It is a raw material used particularly in detergent and ceramics production.
STPP is produced at the plant in Complex A. We produce STPP on a line separate from feed phosphates, for non-food industrial use; STPP is not a feed product.

Where and how
can it add value?
Ceramics industry
May be used in the relevant processes to manage dispersion and processing characteristics.
Industrial formulation
The appropriate grade and physical form are selected according to specific production conditions.
Detergent formulations
STPP is a phosphate salt that can be used in detergent systems for water hardness management and builder functions.
Ceramic processes
In suitable processes, phosphate-based systems are used for solids dispersion and rheology management.
Industrial cleaning
In non-food technical applications, the formulation's pH, compatibility and regulatory criteria are reviewed.
Process compatibility
Particle size, dissolution properties and moisture level affect the choice of a product grade suited to the application.
Technical evaluationChoosing the right product
Choosing the right product
starts with the right questions.
In product selection, we consider not only the name or area of use, but also your production conditions and specification requirements.

Regulatory and safety documents for the application
Is STPP a feed phosphate?
No. STPP is made on a separate line for the detergent and ceramics industries.
How is a technical grade of STPP selected?
Purity, solubility, particle size and chemical parameters suited to the application are reviewed.
Is industrial STPP suitable for food use?
A technical-grade product should not be directed to food use unless its product grade has been separately verified.
