Application
Trisodium phosphate serves a diverse range of purposes due to its chemical properties as a highly soluble, white, crystalline solid. Its primary applications include functioning as a powerful cleaning agent, degreaser, and stain remover. It proves invaluable in preparing surfaces prior to painting by effectively deglossing and cleaning walls to ensure better paint adhesion. Beyond its use in household and industrial cleaning, trisodium phosphate is employed as a food additive, contributing to acidity regulation and phosphorus fortification, particularly in cereals and cheese sauces. In the plumbing industry, trisodium phosphate is utilized as a flux for hard soldering joints, especially in copper plumbing, owing to its capacity to dissolve copper oxides at high temperatures. Despite its versatility, its strong alkaline nature requires cautious handling, as it can cause severe irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Additionally, it plays a role in various industrial processes, including metal treatment, paint removal, and water softening, highlighting its multifaceted applications across different fields.
