Properties of Trisodium PhosphateTrisodium phosphate is an inorganic compound, the chemical formula is Na3PO4, colorless to white acicular crystal or crystalline powder, anhydrous substance or crystal water containing 1 ~ 12 molecules, odorless.The melting point of dodecahydrate trisodium phosphate is 73.4°C.Soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol.The pH value of 1% aqueous solution is 11.5 ~ 12.1. Dihydrogen phosphate and sodium bicarbonate are easily decomposed by delirium in dry air.Disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium hydroxide are almost completely decomposed in water.When heated to 55 ~ 65°C, it becomes ten water; when heated to 60 ~ 100°C, it becomes six water; when heated to 100°C and above, it becomes one water; when heated to 212°C and above, it becomes anhydrous.Applications of Trisodium Phosphate1. As a quality improver, trisodium phosphate powder can improve the complexing metal ion, pH value and ionic strength of food, so as to improve the binding force and water holding capacity of food.China stipulates that it can be used for cheese, and the maximum usage is 5g/kg;The maximum amount used in western ham, meat, fish, shrimp and crab is 3.0g/kg.The maximum dosage in canned, fruit juice, beverages and dairy products is 0.5g/kg. 2. Used as softener and detergent in chemical industry, textile industry, printing and dyeing industry, papermaking industry and power generation industry, scale inhibitor for boiler, softener in paper dyeing, buffer agent for ph degree of adhesive used in wax and gloss paper production, color fixing agent for printing and dyeing, mercerizing agent for fabric and anti-brittleness agent for wire making.In metallurgical industry, it is used for chemical oil removal, pollution removal, and as an excellent promoter in photographic development solutions.Tooth cleaner and bottle cleaner.A coagulant in rubber milk.Syrup cleanser.Phosphate improves the quality of food processing. For example, in meat products, phosphate maintains water retention and enhances adhesion, thus reducing the loss of nutrients in meat and preserving its tenderness.It is also used as emulsifier, nutritional supplement and quality improver in food processing.It is also used in sugar refining and the manufacture of -starch.It is also used as a detergent for food bottles, cans, etc. 3. Belongs to strong alkali weak acid salt, solid trisodium phosphate, strong alkali and high solubility, stable chemical properties, can be long-term preservation, in the containment spray system (EAS) spray the water add TSP substitute NaOH, can adjust the pH value of spray liquid, effectively remove from leakage of cooling water iodine gas in the release to the containment vessel, avoid strong alkali to the injury of the staff, easy to clean up after the accident.Pay Attention to SafetyTSP is toxic and can cause eye and skin irritation and is harmful if swallowed. TSP requires care when you work with it. Always use eye protection and waterproof gloves when handling or cleaning with TSP powder. Also wear full skin protection, including long sleeves and long pants. Safety precautions apply to both dry and mixed or diluted forms of TSP.
