THPS Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium Sulfate
- Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium Sulphate
THPS is tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulfate, an industrial phosphonium chemical supplied as an aqueous solution. The British spelling, tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulphate, identifies the same product used in Malaysian procurement specifications.
A 75% aqueous solution is the standard commercial concentration, while lower-strength THPS dilutions are used for downstream formulation requirements. The material is typically clear to pale straw-coloured, and buyers should state the concentration and specification required rather than treating formulated biocide blends as equivalent grades.
THPS is specified in oilfield water treatment and souring-control programmes, cooling-tower and industrial-water microbiological control, and pulp and paper process water. It also has uses as a reducing agent and iron-sulphide dissolver in oilfield service work, and in selected textile-finishing chemistry.

THPS applications
Common questions about THPS
What is the full chemical name of THPS?
THPS is tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulfate, also written with the British spelling sulphate. It is supplied commercially as an aqueous solution.
What does THPS 75 mean?
THPS 75 refers to the standard commercial aqueous solution with a typical concentration of 75%. State the required concentration and specification in the enquiry.
Where is THPS used in industrial treatment programmes?
THPS is specified in oilfield and industrial-water treatment, cooling-tower systems, pulp and paper process water, and selected textile-finishing chemistry.
Is THPS a quaternary ammonium biocide?
No. THPS is a phosphonium compound with a different chemical identity from quaternary ammonium products such as benzalkonium chloride or DDAC.
What information is needed for a THPS quotation?
Provide the required concentration, specification, quantity, delivery location, intended application and any packing or document requirements. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
