Many governments regulate the quantities allowed in foods, as it can substantially increase the sale weight of seafood in particular.
The United States Food and Drug Administration lists Pentasodium triphosphate as Generally recognized as safe.

Other:
Other uses of Pentasodium triphosphate (hundreds of thousands of tons/year) include ceramics (decrease the viscosity of glazes up to a certain limit), leather tanning (as masking agent and synthetic tanning agent - SYNTAN), anticaking agents, setting retarders, flame retardants, paper, anticorrosion pigments, textiles, rubber manufacture, fermentation, antifreeze.
Pentasodium triphosphate is used as a polyanion crosslinker in polysaccharide based drug delivery.

Cleaning Power:
One of the common usages of Pentasodium triphosphate is as an ingredient in detergents and soaps.
Most gel, liquid, tablet, and powder forms of both laundry and dishwasher detergent contain it.

Pentasodium triphosphate's key function is that it allows surfactants, which are molecules that help dissolve surface dirt, to work at their full potential.
Pentasodium triphosphate can also soften hard water for easier foaming and cleaning, and it helps prevent dirt from sticking to the surfaces of the object being cleaned.
Many general household cleaning products, including surface and toilet cleaners, contain Pentasodium triphosphate.

Tanning Agent for Leather:
Pentasodium triphosphate is listed as a tanning agent for leather.
Interestingly, Pentasodium triphosphate is also used as an oil contamination resistance agent in paper production.
So, Pentasodium triphosphate can both help manufacturers apply the right color to a medium as well as keep unwanted color away.

Preparation Method of Pentasodium Triphosphate:
Under the action of stirring, the soda ash is slowly added to the phosphoric acid solution for neutralization reaction, and the neutralized product orthophosphate is dried and polymerized at 350~450 ℃, the Pentasodium triphosphate is generated, and the Pentasodium triphosphate is obtained by cooling and crushing.
Alternatively, the neutralization reaction is carried out by extraction of phosphoric acid and soda ash.

A large amount of iron, aluminum and other impurities are removed by filtration, the pH value is adjusted, and filtration is carried out, and the obtained solution containing a certain proportion of disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate is concentrated in the evaporator to meet the requirements of spray polymerization.
The slurry was sprayed into the rotary polymerization furnace, dried and polymerized by hot air spraying powder, and then cooled, crushed and filtered to prepare the Pentasodium triphosphate product.

Production of Pentasodium Triphosphate:
The production process typically consists of three main steps.

1. A sodium compound, for example sodium carbonate (Na2 CO3) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) reacts with phosphoric acid to form a mixture which contains monosodium phosphate (NaH2 PO4) and disodium phosphate (Na4 HPO4).
The phosphoric acid is achieved through either a wet process or a furnace process.

2.The mixture is precipitated from solution to a solid and insoluble impurities are removed.

3.The mixture is heated until it thermally decomposes or calcinates the monosodium and disodium phosphates into Pentasodium triphosphate (Na5 P3 O10).

The heating also ensures that excess water is removed through volatilization.
Pentasodium triphosphate must then be milled into a powder, sieved, and packed before it is ready for sale.
This process can also produce different sodium phosphate products, such as sodium dihydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate, and disodium hydrogen phosphate, among others.

A polyphosphate is formed by a number of simple phosphate units linked together, and Pentasodium triphosphate contains three such units.

The brief manufacturing processes are as follows:
Pentasodium triphosphate is commercially produced by the neutralization of phosphoric acid with sodium hydroxide to form the mixture of monosodium phosphate and disodium phosphate.
Then heat the mixture to 500-550 °C.

Here is the reaction equation:
NaH2PO4 + 2Na2HPO4 → Na5P3O10 + 2H2O

Food grade Pentasodium triphosphate exists as two forms, and follows the corresponding chemical formula:
Pentasodium triphosphate Anhydrous: Na5O10P3
Pentasodium triphosphate Hexahydrate: Na5O10P3 · 6H2O

Pentasodium triphosphate from wet process or furnace process phosphoric acid:
Pentasodium triphosphate made from furnace process phosphoric acid is more expensive than that made from wet process phosphoric acid as the furnace incurs larger heating costs.

However, Pentasodium triphosphate made from the wet process product is likely to contain more impurities.
The most notable contaminants are magnesium and silicon which may prevent the Pentasodium triphosphate from being used in some end products.

For example, silicon can cause aqueous solutions containing Pentasodium triphosphate to appear cloudy.
For this reason, food processing companies often favour Pentasodium triphosphate made from furnace process acid despite the higher cost.

Classic Spray Method Vs Dry, Single-stage Method:
It is also worth noting when considering grades of Pentasodium triphosphate that it can be produced through two main approaches: a classic spray method and a dry, single stage method – both of which have their advantages and disadvantages.
In the classic spray method, once the phosphoric acid has been neutralized with caustic soda (NaOH) or soda ash (Na2 CO3) it is dehydrated via a spray drying process.
The dried mixture is then calcined in a rotary kiln to obtain Pentasodium triphosphate.

Pentasodium triphosphate is a Kind of Excellent Detergent Additives, The Largest Amount of Detergent In The Production Process is Set, Its Role Has Four Aspects:

1. the effect of heavy metal ion chelate:
heavy metal ions in the process of washing water, can combine detergent molecules to form insoluble metal salt,reduce the washing ability, even complete loss of function.
Therefore, it is necessary to add chelating agent, which can make water containing heavy metal ions into harmless substancesin the detergent.

Pentasodium triphosphate has strong chelation for heavy metal ions, sealing them and eliminating the adverse effects on the washing.
In addition, Pentasodium triphosphate can capture dirt contained various metals in washing process, playing the role of dissociation of dirt, used as soap synergist and preventing bar soap grease precipitation and bloom.

2. The dirt on his gum, emulsifying and dispersing effect:
Dirt often contain body fluids (mainly protein and fat like substances), also contains the sand from the outside world, dust etc..
Pentasodium triphosphate has the expansion, solubilization on dirt protein, and the effect of the glue solution; emulsification of fat promotes; has dispersing effect on solid dirt, strong emulsification of lubricating oil and fat, can be used to adjust the pH value of buffer liquid soap.

3. prevent caking of detergent:
Synthetic detergent powder is hygroscopic, such as stored in high humidity areas, Pentasodium triphosphate is necessary to caking phenomenon.
Using detergent agglomerates is inconvenient.

While the water absorption of Pentasodium triphosphate formed the hexahydrate, with characteristics of dry.
When there is extensive use of detergent formulations, it can serve to prevent caking phenomenon caused by moisture absorption, keeping dry granular of the synthetic detergent.

4. Pentasodium triphosphate has a larger buffer alkaline washing solution, pH value is maintained at about 9.4, which is conducive to the removal of acidic dirt.

The Advantages of Pentasodium triphosphate In The Manufacture of Ceramics:
The primary use of Pentasodium triphosphate in ceramic production is through its ability to lower the viscosity of a mass or slurry and in doing so improve the fluidity of a desired material.
This can reduce costs, as any reduction in water content helps to lower energy consumption in a ball mill or spray drying tower (spray column).

The manufacture of ceramics requires more know-how, hard work, and quality raw materials than many people understand.
One of the most worthwhile raw materials in ceramic production is Pentasodium triphosphate.

Also known as Pentasodium triphosphate, Pentasodium triphosphate is an organic compound which is ideal for decreasing the viscosity of glazes, chelating hard metal ions, and also has an excellent degumming effect in ceramic production.
Pentasodium triphosphate is typically supplied as a white powder or granular product which must be kept dry in a well-ventilated place, away from extremes of heat and cold.

Pentasodium triphosphate can be used to adjust the density of a glaze slurry to prevent excessive dripping and limit foaming.
Pentasodium triphosphate can be used to change a glaze's rheological properties to limit the emergence of blowholes, pinholes, bumps, and other defects.
However, as well as quicker drying, there are other ways that using Pentasodium triphosphate as an additive in ceramic glazes can improve results in ceramic products.

These include:
Pentasodium triphosphate can be used to adjust the density of a glaze slurry to prevent excessive dripping and limit foaming.
Pentasodium triphosphate can be used to change a glaze’s rheological properties to limit the emergence of blowholes, pinholes, bumps, and other defects.

Pentasodium triphosphate can also control thixotropy, and therefore reduce deglazing issues.
Pentasodium triphosphate can help to ensure an even application of a glaze, and so limit the formation of unwanted stripes or patches.

Pentasodium triphosphate can be especially beneficial when forming high-quality marble patterns on ceramics, as an additional application on the sieve (wire mesh) can prevent a pattern from blurring after glazing.
Pentasodium triphosphate can improve the efficiency of glaze applications, speed up glaze applications, and therefore, lower production costs.

Additionally, in some circumstances, Pentasodium triphosphate can also be employed as a low-cost plasticizer.

Industrial ceramic producers are all too aware of the importance of rheology, setting times, and glaze efficiency, whether it is for the manufacture of crockery, sanitary products, tiling, or an individual industrial product, such as the insulators on power cables and pylons.
Modern standards and increased expectation on a ceramic’s performance mean that any defect on a glaze can make a product unsellable.
