Solid TKPP is a white conglomerate or grain-like granule. As a liquid, it comes as a clear, odourless solution, soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol.
TKPP is often used as a highly-soluble, low-sodium and environmentally-friendly alternative to sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP, also known as sodium pyrophosphate).
A technical grade chemical potassium phosphate derivative, TKPP has excellent chelating capabilities and holds application across cleaning, water treatment, oil and gas and more.
We are award-winning suppliers of TKPP with over 50 years’ experience as a leading chemical distributor. Our privately-owned fleet allows us to offer fast, secure UK-wide delivery to meet any requirement.
