Description :

Overview of Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate

Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate (TKPP) is an inorganic phosphate compound widely used as a builder, buffering agent, and dispersant in home care and institutional cleaning formulations. It appears as a white, free-flowing powder or granules and is highly soluble in water, making it especially suitable for liquid and powder detergent systems.

In home care applications, Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate plays a key role in water softening, pH control, and soil dispersion, allowing surfactants to perform more efficiently in hard water conditions. It helps prevent scale formation and soil redeposition, resulting in improved cleaning performance on fabrics and hard surfaces.

In selected personal care and hygiene-related formulations, Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate is used in oral care and speciality cleansing products, where controlled alkalinity and dispersion are required. It is often used alongside ingredients such as Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Potassium Tripolyphosphate, Sodium Carbonate, and Sodium Metasilicate to build high-performance cleaning systems.

ChemicalBull supplies high-quality Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate suitable for home care and speciality formulation needs, ensuring consistent quality, reliable solubility, and dependable bulk supply.
