It's used widely as an ingredient in laundry detergents, as a water softener in hard water regions and improving detergent performance. In foods, STPP is used to retain moisture. In addition, it is used as a preservative for seafood, meats, poultry and pet foods.

∙ 13y agoAfter doing some research, I have uncovered some fairly scary things.
It is commonly used as an additive in some foods, but here is a list of things people use it for.
-Detergents
-Degreasers
-Flux (used in soldering)
-Exercise performance enhancement
I told you it was scary. Thankfully, it was banned (to an extent) in the US, because it's ecologically unsafe.

Is trisodium phosphate safe to use in airtight wood stoves?
According to my chimney sweep it is completely safe to use in an airtight wood stove. He strongly suggested that I use about a handful per day in my stove to keep the creosote build up to a minimum.
If use sodium phosphate buffer instead of potassium phosphate buffer?
its ok to use
Where the single super phosphate use?
single super phosphate or superphosphate of lime, Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 , is a compound produced by treating rock phosphate with sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, or a mixture of the two. It is the principal carrier of phosphate, the form of phosphorus usable by plants, and is one of the world's most important fertilizers. Ordinary superphosphate contains about 20% available phosphate; double superphosphate (also called treble superphosphate) contains 40%-50% available phosphate.

How much phosphate do you add to dishwasher soap?
From the research I have done, I have discovered that most dishwasher detergents have between 10-25% phosphate. This would mean adding between 1/2 and 1 Tablespoon of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to 1/4 cup of dishwasher detergent. If you are hand-washing your dishes, I would use the lower amount AND wear gloves so as not to damage your skin. TSP is caustic (but not as bad as something like lye). You can also add TSP to laundry detergent at the lower levels, 1/2 tbsp per 1/4 cup of detergent. Search the web for trisodium phosphate, there's about a million other uses!

Why is trisodium phosphate used in cereal?
It's used to regulate the acidity of certain foods, to keep them from being too acidic. In food products we use very small amounts. As soon as trisodium phosphate dissolves in the gastric juices of the stomach it is no longer present as such, only as sodium ions and a phosphate ion. It's important to note that the body doesn't distinguish the source of simple ions, whether they came in as an inherent part of the food or as part of an added ingredient. These ions are consumed naturally in large amounts in foods and water and they're both necessary for life.

How do you remove food odors from laundry?
I'm asking about very stubborn food odors from clothing that is worn by a restaurant owner. Wisk is what I typically use as detergent but it is not effective for this purpose just wash with effective detergents. Dump in a quarter-cup of TSP (trisodium phosphate). That is what detergent used to have in it back in the day. The new stuff has had it removed because it raises the phosphate levels in streams and causes pollution. That stuff is serious--it'll take ugly off a monkey.
What methods might use to prevent rusting of iron?
The most common way, Electroplating, whether that be Zinc, Nickel or Chromium. Or by using a non-electro immersion process such as EN (electroless nickel), Zinc Phosphate or Manganese Phosphate. Note: Galvanizing (Hot-dipping in molten Zinc) and Electroplating are two totally different things.
