Product Information

• Name: Sodium triphosphate
• Brand: Biosynth

Description

Sodium triphosphate is a sodium salt that is used as a surfactant and water softener. It is soluble in water, but insoluble in organic solvents. Sodium triphosphate has been shown to be toxic at high doses. Sodium triphosphate may be used for wastewater treatment by removing phosphates from the water, which can cause eutrophication of lakes and streams. The anhydrous form of sodium triphosphate can also be used to remove these phosphates. The anhydrous form of sodium triphosphate is not soluble in water and has a high resistance to heat and chemical attack. This compound is often used as a reagent in analytical chemistry applications such as titration calorimetry, surface methodology, toxicity studies, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, or as an additive in glycol ethers or chitosan quaternary ammonium compounds. It may also be used as a preservative for food products like
