Encyclopedia > Sodium phosphate

Sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) is a phosphate of sodium.



It is used as an emulsifying or thickening agent in food manufacturing. It is also available as an enema, working as a laxative to treat constipation. Sodium phosphate enemas are sold over-the-counter in the United States. Under the term Trisodium phosphate, or TSP, it is marketed and used as a cleaning agent, particularly prior to painting.
