Sodium pyrophosphate anhydrous

Sodium pyrophosphate anhydrous, also called sodium pyrophosphate, tetrasodium phosphate or TSPP, is a colorless transparent crystalline chemical compound with the formula Na4P2O7. It is a salt composed of pyrophosphate and sodium ions. Toxicity is approximately twice that of table salt when ingested orally. There is also a hydrated form, Na4P2O7 · 10(H2O).

Sodium pyrophosphate anhydrous is White powder or crystal. Melting point 880℃. Density 2.534g/cm3. Soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. It's aqueous solution is alkaline and stable below 70℃, hydrolyzes into sodium hydrogen phosphate after boiling. Can form complex with alkaline earth metal ion, liable to deliquesce.

It is applied in industries of detergents as detergent auxiliary, paper production to bleach electroplating; In food industry it is used as buffering agent, emulsifier, nutrition ingredients quality improver
