Sodium Triphosphate

We are the largest exporter, manufacture and supplier of Sodium triphosphate in Surat, Gujarat, India. Sodium triphosphate (STP), also sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), or tripolyphosphate (TPP)) is an inorganic compound with formula Na5P3O10. It is the sodium salt of the polyphosphate penta-anion, which is the conjugate base of triphosphoric acid. It is produced on a large scale as a component of many domestic and industrial products, especially detergents. Environmental problems associated with eutrophication are attributed to its widespread use. Polyphosphates are hydrolyzed into simpler phosphates, which in moderate amounts are nutritious[citation needed]. For example, ATP, a related derivative of triphosphate, is essential for life. Thus, the toxicity of polyphosphates is low, as the lowest LD50 after oral administration is >1,000 mg/kg body weight. Similarly, no mutagenic, carcinogenic, or reproductive effects have been noted. Salts of polyphosphate anions are moderately irritating to skin and mucous membranes because they are mildly alkaline.
