Chemical Formula Na₄P₂O₇

Molecular Weight 301.32 g/mol

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP) is an odorless, white, water-soluble powder or granule that is used as a food additive, water softener, and emulsifier. It is also known as sodium pyrophosphate, tetrasodium phosphate, and tetrasodium diphosphate.

Industrial Uses

1. Food & Healthcare Ingredients 

  • Emulsifiers: TSPP helps in the formation of stable emulsions by interacting with fats and proteins, preventing the separation of ingredients. For example, it can improve the texture of processed cheese by keeping the oil and water phase from separating.
  • Stabilization: It is used in products like salad dressings, sauces, and beverages to maintain uniformity and consistency. It prevents the separation of components, keeping the texture smooth.

2. Water Treatment 

  • Water Softening: TSPP can bind to calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, preventing the formation of scale and improving the effectiveness of soaps and detergents. This makes it useful in both industrial and household water softening.
  • Corrosion Inhibition: In cooling systems and boilers, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate helps prevent corrosion by binding metal ions, such as iron, and reducing the risk of scaling.

3. Cleaning & Disinfectants Solutions

  • Dispersing Agent: It helps in dispersing dirt and particles in water, improving the cleaning action of detergents. It helps break down grease and dirt in products such as laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners.
  • Water Softening: It is used in many laundry detergents to soften water, which improves the performance of the detergent by preventing the precipitation of minerals.

4. Fabric Solutions

  • Dye Fixation: TSPP helps improve the fixation of dyes on fabrics. It assists in binding dye particles to the fibers, ensuring better color retention and vibrancy.
  • Bleaching & Cleaning: It is used in the bleaching of textiles to remove stains or residual oils from fabrics. It also helps in cleaning textiles by acting as a dispersing agent.

5. Pulp & Paper Solutions

  • Dispersing Agent: It is used to prevent the formation of clumps of pulp fibers during the paper manufacturing process.
  • Water Softener: It is used to soften water in the pulp preparation process, ensuring that the machinery runs smoothly and preventing scale buildup on equipment.

6. Energy

  • Drilling Fluids: TSPP is used in the formulation of drilling fluids, where it acts as a dispersing agent and water softener, helping to control the viscosity and consistency of the fluids used during the drilling process.
  • Scale Control: It is also used to prevent the formation of scale in pipelines and equipment in the oil and gas production process, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
