Trisodium phosphate anhydrous (TSP) is a white, granular or powdered substance commonly used as a cleaning agent, degreaser, and stain remover. It is highly effective in breaking down grease and oils, and is often found in heavy-duty cleaning products for industrial and household use. TSP is also used in water treatment, as a pH buffer, and in various manufacturing processes, such as the preparation of metal surfaces before painting. 

Industrial Uses

1. Cleaning & Disinfectants Solutions 

  • Degreaser – TSP helps break down stubborn grease and oil on industrial equipment, floors, and walls. It is commonly used as a surface preparation cleaner before applying paint or other coatings, especially to remove surface contaminants like oil, grease, and dirt. 

2. Water Treatment  

  • Water Softener – Trisodium phosphate anhydrous is used in water softening processes to remove calcium and magnesium ions, which are responsible for water hardness. 
  • pH Adjuster – It is commonly used to adjust the pH of water in various industrial processes like boilers, cooling towers, and water purification systems. 
  • Cleaning Agent for Cooling Systems – TSP is used in cooling systems to maintain clean pipes and prevent scale build-up. 

3. Pharmaceuticals

  • Buffering Agent – Trisodium phosphate anhydrous is used in pharmaceutical formulations as a buffer to maintain the pH of solutions. 
  • Cleaning Agent – Used to clean pharmaceutical equipment, ensuring a sterile and non-reactive environment for production. 
  • Ingredient in Oral Medications – Sometimes included in antacid formulations to neutralize excess stomach acid. 

4. Metal Treatment  

  • Surface Cleaner – TSP anhydrous is used for cleaning and preparing metal surfaces before further processing, such as coating or electroplating. 
  • Rust Removal – It is effective in removing rust from metal surfaces, especially before applying coatings or paints. 
  • Etching Agent – Used in the etching process for metals to ensure smoothness and proper adhesion of subsequent layers. 

5. Construction  

  • Concrete Cleaner – Trisodium phosphate anhydrous is used to clean concrete surfaces before finishing or painting to remove contaminants like oil, grease, and dirt. 
  • Efflorescence Remover – Effective at removing efflorescence (salt deposits) on masonry and brickwork during construction projects. 
  • Masonry Cleaning – Used to clean and prepare masonry before any finishing or coatings are applied.
