Commissioned in 1984 to produce POLYPHOS® Sodium Tripolyphosphate, TPC has, over the years, enhanced capacity, through debottlenecking by more than 100%, and earned a reputation as being one of the most efficient and reliable suppliers of high-quality Sodium Phosphates in the world.
Major applications of TPC phosphates
* Preservative in seafood and meat Treatment with Phosphates, by dipping or soaking, helps seafood retain its natural moisture content and prevent spoilage. Phosphates are added to the pickling solution that is used to treat cured meat products, such as ham and sausage, by soaking or injection.
* Leavening in bakery products
Phosphates are used in baking powder as an acidulant in chemical leavening,
which is the generation of carbon dioxide bubbles caused by the reaction
of an acid component with Sodium Bicarbonate. Phosphates, being natural
nutrients, are also used to enrich flour as mineral supplements.
* Emulsifier and stabiliser in dairy products
Phosphates are used as emulsifiers in processed cheese to prevent protein
denaturing, enabling milk fat suspension and preventing oil separation.
Phosphates are also used in evaporated milk, coffee creamer and milk
powder to prevent protein coagulation.

* Builder in detergents
Phosphates soften the water and help surfactants to work effectively.
They break down oil, dirt and stains. They also prevent redeposition
of dirt back on the fabric and, most importantly, keep dirt suspended
in the washing water. Phosphates in detergents are also effective in
removing bacteria and other micro-organisms on clothes and fabrics,
thereby ensuring good health and hygiene.
* Other applications
TPC phosphates are also used in the manufacture of animal feeds, toothpaste,
textile dyes, starch and ceramic tiles. They are also used in water
and metal treatment, potato treatment, and as a stabiliser in chemical
processes.
