Sodium Hexametaphosphate SHMP Water Softener with EINECS No. 233-343-1 Melting Point 616 ℃ and Density 2.181 g/cm³ for Industrial Applications

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is an inorganic compound with chemical formula (NaPO3)6. This white crystalline powder is easily soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents. It serves multiple functions across various industries:

• Food Industry: Quality improver, pH regulator, metal ion chelating agent, adhesive, and expanding agent for dairy products, beverages, and soy sauces
• Industrial Use: Water softening/water treatment agent for printing, dyeing, boilers, oil fields, paper-making, textile, petrochemical, tanning, paint, metallurgical, and building material industries
• Cleaning Products: Major component in inorganic cleaning agents and detergents

• Meat products, fish sausages, ham: Improves water retention and prevents fat oxidation
• Soy sauce: Prevents discoloration, increases viscosity, shortens fermentation period, and regulates taste
• Fruit drinks and refreshing beverages: Increases juice yield, viscosity, and inhibits vitamin C decomposition

• Production of sodium monofluorophosphate (important industrial raw material)
• Water softener for dyeing and finishing processes
• Scale inhibitor in water treatment (EDI, RO, NF systems)
• Key component in inorganic cleaning agents for removing grease, dirt, and sediment

Sodium hexametaphosphate reacts with metal ions in water to form stable soluble complexes, preventing precipitation and boiler fouling. It forms compounds like Na2[Ca2(PO3)6] and Na2[Mg2(PO3)6] that remain soluble, effectively softening water for industries with high water quality requirements (boiler water, textiles, electrolysis). The compound also functions as a corrosion inhibitor and dispersant.
