Food Code

Potassium Tripolyphosphate (KTPP) is a premium Technical Grade and Food Grade inorganic salt with exceptional water solubility. It acts as a powerful chelating agent and emulsifier for concentrated liquid detergent formulations.

This hygroscopic white powder provides superior buffering capacity and prevents scale formation in industrial water systems. It is highly valued for its ability to sequester metallic ions and stabilize protein-based food products.

The compound is essential for high-solids cleaners where sodium salts might precipitate. It functions as a high-efficiency dispersing agent in ceramic, textile, and specialized surface treatment applications.

Potassium Tripolyphosphate

  • Liquid Detergents: Functions as a high-solubility builder to prevent mineral interference and enhance surfactant cleaning power.
  • Meat Processing: Acts as a moisture-retention agent and texture stabilizer to improve yield and shelf life in poultry.
  • Water Treatment: Utilized to prevent scale and corrosion in boilers by sequestering calcium and magnesium ions effectively.

Classified under GHS Hazard Classification: Eye Irritant Category 2A. Handling requires PPE including chemical safety goggles, nitrile gloves, and protective clothing.

Standard industrial formats include 25 kg Multi-wall Paper Bags and 1000 kg Big Bags (FIBC).
