1. Cleaning & Degreasing
TSP is a powerful alkaline cleaning agent used in various industries due to its ability to break down grease, oil, and dirt.
Industrial Cleaning: Used in factories and workshops to clean machinery, floors, and tools.
Household Cleaning: Found in heavy-duty detergents for washing walls, floors, and driveways.
Paint Preparation: Removes grease and dirt from walls before painting for better adhesion.
Graffiti Removal: Helps in cleaning painted surfaces before restoration.
2. Water Treatment
TSP is widely used to regulate pH and prevent scale buildup in industrial water systems.
Boiler Water Treatment: Prevents scale formation and controls alkalinity.
Cooling Towers: Helps control pH and reduces corrosion in cooling systems.
Wastewater Treatment: Enhances removal of heavy metals and helps in sludge treatment.
Swimming Pools: Used to control pH levels and clean pool surfaces.
3. Metal Surface Preparation
TSP is a key component in metal cleaning and preparation processes.
Degreasing Metal Parts: Removes oil and grease from metal before welding or coating.
Rust Removal: Helps eliminate rust and oxidation before painting.
Phosphating Processes: Used to prepare metal surfaces for coatings by creating a phosphate layer that improves paint adhesion.
4. Textile Industry
TSP plays an important role in textile processing, dyeing, and fabric treatment.
Dyeing & Bleaching: Acts as a buffering agent to maintain the necessary pH during fabric processing.
Stain Removal: Used in detergents for effective removal of grease, ink, and sweat stains.
Washing & Mercerizing: Helps in cleaning and strengthening cotton fabrics.
5. Paper & Pulp Industry
TSP improves efficiency in paper manufacturing and recycling.
pH Control: Used to adjust pH levels in the paper bleaching process.
Ink Removal in Recycling: Aids in de-inking and preparing used paper for repulping.
Smoothing Paper Surface: Helps in chemical treatments that enhance paper quality.
6. Food Processing (Technical Applications Only)
While food-grade TSP is used as a food additive, industrial-grade TSP is applied in cleaning and maintenance.
Equipment Cleaning: Used in food processing plants to remove grease and sanitize machinery.
Dairy & Meat Processing: Helps in degreasing and cleaning tanks, pipes, and surfaces.
pH Control in Processing Plants: Maintains alkaline conditions to prevent microbial growth.
7. Construction Industry
TSP is used in cement, masonry, and painting applications.
Cement Additive: Regulates setting time and improves durability.
Etching Concrete Surfaces: Prepares concrete surfaces before painting or sealing.
Mold & Mildew Removal: Used to clean mold-infested walls and surfaces.
8. Automotive & Aerospace
TSP is effective in cleaning and degreasing engine parts and aerospace components.
Engine Cleaning: Removes oil, grease, and carbon buildup from automotive and industrial engines.
Aircraft Maintenance: Used to clean metal surfaces and aircraft exteriors.
Brake and Transmission Parts Cleaning: Helps in degreasing and preparing components for assembly.
