General Description:
Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7) is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of phosphates. It is a white, crystalline powder or granular solid. Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate is highly soluble in water and has a pH in solution that can vary depending on concentration.

  • Uses in Industrial Applications:
    In industrial settings, Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate is used for:
  • Water Treatment: It is used as a water softener and scale inhibitor in water treatment processes.
  • Detergents and Cleaners: Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate acts as a builder and buffering agent in detergents and cleaning products, helping to enhance their effectiveness.
  • Food Industry: It is used in the food industry as a dispersing agent, emulsifier, and buffering agent.
  • Metal Cleaning: Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate is utilized for metal cleaning and metal surface treatment processes.

Potential Hazard Considerations:
While Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate is generally considered safe for its intended industrial uses, potential hazards can include:

  • Skin and Eye Irritation: Direct contact with Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate powder or solutions can irritate the skin and eyes. Safety precautions should be taken during handling to avoid skin and eye exposure.
  • Environmental Impact: In large quantities or if improperly disposed of, Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate can contribute to water pollution and affect aquatic life. Proper disposal practices are essential to minimize environmental impact.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Manufacturers must comply with regulatory standards and guidelines set by authorities such as the FDA and EPA to ensure safe handling and use of Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate.


CAS Number: 7722-88-5

INCI: Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate

Composition: Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is composed of sodium cations (Na⁺) and pyrophosphate anions (P₂O₇²⁻). It is produced through the reaction of sodium carbonate with phosphoric acid, followed by heating to form the pyrophosphate salt.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: Tetrasodium pyrophosphate typically occurs as a white, odorless, crystalline powder.                                        

Solubility: Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is highly soluble in water, forming a clear and colorless solution. It exhibits good solubility in polar solvents but is insoluble in nonpolar solvents such as organic solvents.

Preservation: Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is inherently stable under normal storage conditions. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent clumping and degradation. Proper storage practices help maintain its quality and effectiveness over time.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature    

Raw Material Source : The raw materials for tetrasodium pyrophosphate production include sodium carbonate (soda ash) and phosphoric acid. These raw materials are typically derived from natural sources such as mineral deposits and phosphate rock. Alternatively, they can be produced synthetically through chemical processes.

Manufacture: Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is manufactured through a multi-step chemical process involving the reaction of sodium carbonate with phosphoric acid to produce sodium dihydrogen phosphate. This intermediate compound is then heated to high temperatures to form tetrasodium pyrophosphate. The resulting product is purified, dried, and milled into the desired particle size for various applications.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: TETRA SODIUM PYROPHOSHATE complies with relevant regulations and guidelines

Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling. Keep out of reach of children.
