Detergency products account for the majority of global STPP consumption. Here, it functions as a water softener by binding calcium and magnesium ions, which improves cleaning efficiency.
In water treatment applications, STPP acts as a sequestering, dispersion and pH-buffering agent. It also has some specialised uses in textiles processing.
In food grade formats, STPP (E451) is a functional food additive, where it acts as a preservative, antioxidant and emulsifier for processed meats, seafoods and baked goods.
