Sodium Hexametaphosphate 68% 25kg
Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) 68% is a versatile chemical used as a water softener, sequestrant, emulsifier, and dispersant, widely applied in water treatment (scale/corrosion prevention), detergents, food processing (improving texture, preventing discoloration, enhancing water retention in meats/dairy), ceramics, oil fields, and textiles, acting to bind metal ions and stabilize products.
Key Uses by Industry
Water Treatment: Softens hard water, prevents scale in boilers and cooling systems, removes metal ions (like iron, copper) to stop corrosion.
Food Industry (Food Additive E452i):
Meat & Seafood: Improves water holding, emulsifies fat, prevents oxidation in products like ham, fish fillets.
Dairy: Emulsifies cheese, stabilizes proteins in milk/ice cream.
Beverages: Increases viscosity/yield in drinks, prevents turbidity in beer.
Canned Goods: Stabilizes pigments, maintains color.
Detergents & Cleaning: Softens water, enhances cleaning power, prevents mineral buildup.
Ceramics: Acts as a dispersing agent to break down clay particles.
Textiles & Dyeing: Used as a dispersing agent and water softener.
Oil Fields: Functions as a dispersant and scale inhibitor.
Toothpaste: Anti-staining and anti-tartar agent, friction agent.
How it Works (Key Properties)
Sequestrant/Chelating Agent: Binds to metal ions (calcium, magnesium, iron) to prevent them from causing issues like hardness or discoloration.
Dispersant: Keeps solid particles suspended, preventing clumping or settling.
Emulsifier & Stabilizer: Helps mix fats and water, maintains uniform texture.

Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a hexamer of composition (NaPO3)6.
Sodium hexametaphosphate of commerce is typically a mixture of polymeric metaphosphates, of which the hexamer is one, and is usually the compound referred to by this name. It is more correctly termed sodium polymetaphosphate.
