Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate (TKPP) is a white crystalline powder that is hydroscopic, water soluble, insoluble in ethanol. Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate is more soluble in water than sodium compounds.

In agriculture, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate (TKPP) is used in herbicide products as an adjuvant for application to plants. TKPP acts both as a plant nutrition promoter (source of phosphorus) and as a surfactant, allowing better and faster penetration into the plant. This synergistic effect with herbicides increases their penetration and stimulates both active and inactive areas of plant growth, thus increasing the effectiveness of the herbicides used.

In the food industry, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate (TKPP), known as E450(V)*, is commonly used as an emulsifier, especially in sausage production, as a quality improver, and as a binding agent for metal ions. It helps to preserve the freshness and moisture, and enhances the quality of quick-frozen seafood. TKPP can be used in seafood canning to prevent curdling, to prevent color fading in fruit products, in ice cream production to improve the degree of churning (bubble formation), in pasta or cakes to improve the flavor, or to stop cheese ageing. Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate is used as a dough conditioner in soy products such as soy milk, soy milk, soy milk powder, soy milk powder and soy milk powder. "It is also used as a dough conditioner in 'meat substitutes', chicken pieces or surimi products such as crab sticks or crab meat. TKPP is used as a thickening additive in instant puddings. In beverages, TKPP is used as a humectant, a flavor "softener", especially in dairy products, while preventing fat from settling and extending the shelf life of the products.

In cosmetics, TKPP is used as a buffer, chelating agent and oral care agent. It binds calcium and magnesium ions in saliva, preventing the formation of insoluble deposits on teeth and preventing dental plaque. It is commonly found in toothpastes and mouthwashes. Key INCIs:

• pH adjuster: Stabilizes the pH of cosmetics.
• Chelating: Reacts and forms complexes with metal ions which may affect the stability and/or appearance of cosmetic products.
• Oral care/hygiene agent: Provides cosmetic effects on the oral cavity (cleansing, deodorizing and protection)

In cleaning industry it is used as a base for soaps and detergents in the washing/cleaning industry. TKPP softens water and emulsifies grease, preventing it from remaining and soaking into fabrics during washing. At the same time, it binds calcium and magnesium ions, preventing them from forming deposits on the fabric surface. In soaps, TKPP prevents the formation of insoluble soap scum that would settle on bathroom surfaces. It is also used in boiler descalers. Due to the eutrophication it causes, it is rarely used as an ingredient in laundry detergents.

In electronics as a forming agent for electronic circuit boards. TKPP is used in the formation of beocyanide tracks.

In paints, TKPP is used as an anionic dispersant in aqueous (latex) paints. It binds small amounts of iron, thus improving the quality of the paint. It is also used as a stabilizer in leather bleaches.
