Purpose

Sodium Hexametaphosphate is an efficient softener used in water softeners, dyeing and finishing industries, power stations, locomotives, boilers, and fertilizer plants for cooling Water Treatment, as well as cleaning agents for fiber and dyeing industries;
Sodium hexametaphosphate is used as a flotation agent in the mineral processing industry. In the petroleum industry, it is used for rust prevention of drilling control pipes and for controlling the viscosity of mud during oil drilling. It is also used as a refractory in textile printing and dyeing, leather, paper making, detergent additives, cement hardening accelerators, agents for controlling or preventing corrosion, color films, soil analysis, radiochemistry, analytical chemistry and other departments, It can suppress the expansion phenomenon caused by the reaction of iron or iron compounds in refractory materials with acidic chemical binders to produce hydrogen gas, and is a good refractory additive

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a white, crystalline powder that is used in a variety of applications, including as a food additive, water softener, and detergent builder. Its chemical formula is NaPO3 6, which means it is composed of six phosphate groups (PO3) linked together by sodium ions (Na+). SHMP is commonly used in the food industry as a sequestrant, which means it binds to metal ions to prevent them from reacting with other ingredients in the food. This helps to improve the texture, flavor, and shelf life of many processed foods. In addition, SHMP is used in water treatment to prevent scaling and corrosion, and in detergents to help remove hard water stains and improve cleaning performance.
