Sodium tripolyphosphate (Na5P3O10) is an inorganic phosphate ceramic compound commonly produced as a white crystalline powder. It functions primarily as a water-softening agent, detergent builder, and food additive due to its ability to chelate metal ions and disperse suspended particles, making it valuable in both industrial and consumer applications where scale prevention and cleaning performance are critical.
