Factors Affecting Sodium Triphosphate Prices
Sodium Triphosphate (STP) is a white powder that is used as a preservative, emulsifier, and buffering agent in food production. It is also used in detergents, soaps, and paints. STP is produced by the reaction of phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide.
The price of STP in China has been stable for the past few years, but there are several factors that could impact the price in the future. The first factor is the cost of raw materials. Phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide are both necessary to produce STP, and their prices can fluctuate based on global markets.
The second factor is production capacity. If there is an increase in demand for STP, manufacturers may need to expand their production facilities to meet the demand.
The third factor is government regulation. The Chinese government has strict regulations on the use of chemicals in food production, and this could impact the price of STP if there are changes to these regulations.
