The lightweight STPP is typically used in the dry mixing-process.
By its high capacity to absorb liquids and active substances, it allows a better granulated detergent with a relatively low apparent density.
It could be also added in post-addition in the atomisation process to improve the density of the finished product or even to increase the capacity of the installation.
