Trisodium phosphate (TSP), with the chemical formula Na₃PO₄, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble inorganic compound. Renowned for its alkalinity, it is widely used as a cleaning agent, water softener, degreaser, and pH adjuster in various industries. It is also employed in some food-grade applications, depending on purity.

1. Cleaning and Detergents: Widely used in household and industrial cleaning products.
2. Water Treatment: Acts as a water softener and scale inhibitor.
3. Food Industry: (Food-grade TSP) Used as a pH regulator, emulsifier, and moisture-retention agent in processed foods.
4. Construction: Utilized in paints, adhesives, and surface preparation for better coating adhesion.
5. Metal Treatment: Applied in rust removal and surface conditioning.
Trisodium phosphate is manufactured through the neutralization of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) with sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The process ensures high purity and stability of the final product, which is then crystallized, dried, and sieved to the desired specifications.
Trisodium phosphate dissociates in water to release sodium (Na⁺) and phosphate (PO₄³⁻) ions. Its high alkalinity helps break down grease, oils, and other organic residues, making it an effective cleaning agent. In food applications, it regulates acidity and improves product stability.
