Anhydrous Trisodium Phosphate Powder

Anhydrous trisodium phosphate is the water-free form of Na3PO4, a strong base used in metal pretreatment and food processing as an acidity regulator. It is explicitly covered by HTS 2835.29.30.00 as a chemically defined trisodium phosphate. This powder absorbs moisture readily, requiring sealed packaging.

Food Grade Trisodium Phosphate

Food-grade trisodium phosphate (USP/ FCC certified) serves as a sequestrant and pH adjuster in processed meats and cereals. It is classified under HTS 2835.29.30.00 as a pure trisodium phosphate meeting chemical definition standards. Strict purity controls ensure safety for ingestion.

Ultrahigh Purity Trisodium Phosphate

Ultrahigh purity (>99.99%) trisodium phosphate for semiconductor wafer cleaning and electronics manufacturing. Meets stringent trace metal specs for Chapter 28 chemical definition under HTS 2835.29.30.00. Packaged in cleanroom conditions.

Trisodium Phosphate Crystals

Trisodium phosphate (TSP) in crystalline form is a chemically defined inorganic salt of phosphoric acid with three sodium ions, used primarily as a cleaning agent and degreaser. It falls under HTS 2835.29.30.00 as a trisodium phosphate, distinct from other phosphate salts like disodium or monosodium variants. This white, water-soluble powder is common in industrial cleaners and water treatment.

Trisodium Phosphate Dodecahydrate

Trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na3PO4·12H2O) is the hydrated form of the trisodium salt of phosphoric acid, widely used in detergents and as a pH buffer. Classified under HTS 2835.29.30.00 specifically for trisodium phosphates, whether pure or hydrated. Its high alkalinity makes it effective for heavy-duty cleaning.

Technical Grade Trisodium Phosphate

Technical grade trisodium phosphate meets industrial purity standards for use in boiler water treatment and textile processing. As a trisodium salt of phosphoric acid, it fits HTS 2835.29.30.00 for other trisodium phosphates. Lower purity than food grade but chemically defined.
