Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na5P3O10. It is a white, crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water and forms alkaline solutions. STPP is widely used in various industrial and household applications, primarily as a water softener and detergent builder due to its ability to sequester calcium and magnesium ions, which are responsible for water hardness. In detergents, it enhances cleaning efficiency by preventing dirt particles from redepositing on fabrics during washing. Additionally, STPP is utilized in ceramic processing to improve the fluidity of glazes and reduce viscosity in ceramic slips. Despite its effectiveness, STPP can contribute to environmental concerns due to its impact on aquatic ecosystems when discharged into water bodies. Efforts are ongoing to find alternative compounds that balance performance with environmental sustainability.
