Sodium tripolyphosphate ( S T P ) is one of t h e newest sodium phosphates. It has excellent calcium sequestering power, outstanding detergency, high solubility in water a n d s u p e r b physical a n d chemical stability. T h e sequestering a c t i o n a n d water softening power of S T P are important in the control of h a r d water. W h e n soap is used in cleaning operations, S T P prevents the formation of insoluble scum a n d curds. Such insoluble curds impair quality in n u m e r o u s industries, particularly in t h e m a n u f a c t u r e of textiles. High detergency is a valuable quality of STP. W h e n combined with other alkalies, synthetic detergents or soap, S T P adds substantially to t h e c o m p o u n d ' s cleaning power.
