Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium Phosphate
- Tri Sodium Phosphate
- Na3PO4
- TSP
Trisodium phosphate supplier for industrial cleaning, degreasing, water treatment and related buyers in Malaysia. Also searched as sodium phosphate, TSP, Na3PO4 and trisodium orthophosphate, this white crystalline solid dissolves to a strongly alkaline solution that cuts grease and supports process alkalinity.
Commercial options include technical anhydrous TSP for dry cleaners and industrial blends, the dodecahydrate for baths mixed on site, and food-grade material sold as E339(iii). Anhydrous identity is commonly referenced as CAS 7601-54-9 with formula Na3PO4; state the form and grade you need so the quotation matches your use.
Cleaning formulators buy TSP as a heavy-duty alkaline cleaner and degreaser. Water treaters use it for softening and conditioning duties. Manufacturing and paint or coatings lines use it for surface preparation, while food processors select food grade only where E339(iii) controls apply.
Send the required form or grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Trisodium Phosphate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade anhydrous TSP | white crystalline powder or granules | — | Heavy-duty alkaline cleaning, degreasing and industrial detergent or soak formulations where a dry Na3PO4 solid is preferred. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate | white crystalline solid (hydrated) | — | Common commercial hydrate for make-up of alkaline cleaning baths, surface preparation solutions and process solutions mixed on site. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Food grade trisodium phosphate | white crystalline powder | — | Food-additive use as E339(iii) for pH control, emulsification and related processing functions where a food-grade specification is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Trisodium Phosphate applications
Safety and handling
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from acids and incompatible materials. TSP solutions are strongly alkaline and can irritate skin and eyes; use gloves and eye protection, control dust, and rinse thoroughly with water on contact. Follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about trisodium phosphate
Is sodium phosphate the same as trisodium phosphate (TSP)?
On this page, sodium phosphate refers to trisodium phosphate, the Na3PO4 product also called TSP or trisodium orthophosphate. Other sodium phosphates such as mono- or disodium phosphate are different chemicals with different uses. State TSP or Na3PO4 in the enquiry if that is the material you need.
What forms of TSP are commonly requested?
Buyers typically choose technical anhydrous TSP for dry alkaline cleaners and industrial blends, the dodecahydrate for baths mixed on site, or food grade (E339(iii)) for food processing. Confirm the form, grade and any assay or impurity limits with the enquiry.
What is trisodium phosphate used for?
The main industrial use is alkaline cleaning and degreasing. It is also used in water treatment, manufacturing surface preparation, pre-paint cleaning and, in food grade, as E339(iii) for pH control and related food processing roles.
What is the difference between anhydrous TSP and the hydrate?
Anhydrous trisodium phosphate is Na3PO4 without water of crystallisation. The dodecahydrate carries crystal water, so a tonne delivers less active phosphate than a tonne of anhydrous material, and handling and make-up differ. Match the form named on your specification or current supply.
Is food-grade TSP the same as technical grade?
Both are trisodium phosphate, but food grade is controlled to food-additive expectations (E339(iii)), while technical grade is specified for industrial cleaning and process performance. Do not substitute one for the other without checking documentation and application needs.
What details are needed for a TSP price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any documents required so the quotation can address the full requirement.
