Buy Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) – Industrial & Food Grade Cleaner

where to buy trisodium phosphate

Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) is an inorganic, highly alkaline compound with the chemical formula Na₃PO₄. It is widely used in cleaning formulations, metal treatment, pH regulation, 和 food processing (in its food-grade form). It is available in crystalline anhydrous 和 dodecahydrate (12H₂O) forms.

TSP is known for its strong degreasing ability, making it ideal for industrial cleaning, especially in textile mills, metal finishing, dishwashing powders, 和 paint preparation. In the food industry, food-grade TSP is used as a buffering agent, emulsifier, 和 moisture retainer in meats and seafood.

在 卡文资源, we supply high-purity industrial and food-grade TSP with international compliance, bulk packaging, and worldwide shipping.

⚙️ Production Method

Neutralization of Phosphoric Acid

• Produced by reacting phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) with sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) under controlled temperatures.

• Resulting trisodium phosphate is then crystallized into anhydrous or hydrated forms, depending on the drying process.

🏭 Use Cases by Industry

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between anhydrous and dodecahydrate TSP?

请回答：
Anhydrous TSP contains no water molecules, while dodecahydrate contains 12 water molecules, making it appear crystalline and more soluble in water. The choice depends on application and solubility needs.

2. Is TSP banned in detergents?

请回答：
In some regions, phosphate-based detergents are restricted due to environmental regulations. However, TSP is still widely used in industrial 和 non-domestic applications. We also offer eco-safe alternatives upon request.

3. Can TSP be used in food?

请回答：
Yes, food-grade TSP (E339) is approved by FDA and EU for use as a food additive, emulsifier, and acidity regulator. It must not be confused with industrial-grade TSP.

4. Does Cavin Resource ship internationally?

请回答：
Absolutely. We offer door-to-port logistics, SGS inspection, and export-standard packaging worldwide.
