Industrial Uses Of Trisodium Phosphate
Industrial uses of trisodium phosphate
1. Water treatment agent
As an excellent water treatment agent, trisodium phosphate is widely used in the prevention and removal of boiler scale and other scale. When it is added to water, it can quickly eliminate ionic substances in the water and prevent the formation of scale, thereby ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the water quality.
2. Detergent
Trisodium phosphate also plays an important role in the production of detergents. It can be used as a detergent to effectively remove stains and grease from clothes, making clothes cleaner. In addition, trisodium phosphate can also be used as a corrosion inhibitor in detergents to prevent clothes from being corroded and extend the service life of clothes.
3. Metal surface pretreatment
As an excellent metal surface pretreatment agent, trisodium phosphate mainly removes oxides on the metal surface, removes rust and dirt, increases the adhesion of the metal surface, and prepares conditions for subsequent surface coating. Therefore, trisodium phosphate is widely used in metal surface treatment processes such as electroplating, electrophoresis and spraying.
4. Glass ceramics and building materials manufacturing
As a raw material for glass ceramics and building materials manufacturing, trisodium phosphate can increase their hardness and toughness, and improve their mechanical strength and durability. In ceramic manufacturing, trisodium phosphate can change the structure of ceramics, improve their heat resistance and impact resistance, and increase the service life of ceramics.
V. Production of pharmaceutical preparations
In the production of pharmaceutical preparations, trisodium phosphate can be used as a weak alkaline buffer to maintain the pH value in the body and help maintain the normal physiological metabolism of the body. In addition, it can also be used as an emulsifier, stabilizer and sustained-release controlled-release agent for pharmaceutical preparations, providing a strong guarantee for the therapeutic effect of the drug.
In short, trisodium phosphate is a chemical product with wide application value. Its wide range of uses involves many fields such as water treatment agents, detergents, metal surface pretreatment, glass ceramics and building materials manufacturing, as well as pharmaceutical preparation production. With the continuous advancement of technology and the deepening of application, the use of trisodium phosphate will become more extensive and diversified.
