Application

In detergent
Most of STPP is consumed as a component of commercial detergents. It is used as an industry term for "manufacturers" of water softeners. In hard water (water containing high concentrations of Mg2 + and Ca2 +), the detergent will be inactivated. As a highly charged chelating agent, TPP5- binds firmly to fingerprints and prevents them from interfering with sulfonate detergents.
