Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) 68%

Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a kind of sodium phosphate polymer, which is usually white powder crystal or transparent glass flake in appearance. The SHMP chemical has strong hygroscopic property and will become sticky after hygroscopic. It is very easy to deliquescent in air and soluble in water with higher solubility and milder dissolution rate. Its aqueous solution is acid and easy to hydrolyze to phosphite. In addition, it has ability to form a soluble complex for some metal ions, so it can be used to soft water, as well as a wide range of uses in food processing and various industry fields.

Uses of Sodium Hexametaphosphate

Industrial Grade SHMP 68%

• Water Treatment. SHMP can be used as water softener for industrial water and boiler water treatment, such as, dye production water, titanium dioxide production water, printing and dyeing water, washing color film copy water, chemical water, pharmaceutical, reagent production water, as well as industrial circulation cooling water treatment agent. It can also be used as scale inhibitor in resin electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, nanofitration and other water treatment industries.
• Paper Industry. It can be used as slurry diffusing agent to increase penetration.
• Oil industry. Anti-rust for drilling pipes in the petroleum industry and control of viscosity of mud during oil drilling.
• Other Uses. Chemate SHMP can be also used as corrosion inhibitor, flotation agent, dispersant, high temperature binder, dyeing auxiliary, treatment of metal treatment, rust inhibitor, detergent builder, cement hardening accelerator.

Chemate SHMP Food Grade

• Water holding capacity. Sodium hexametaphosphate food grade can be used in meat products, fish sausage, ham and so on to improve the water retention, increase adhesion and prevent fat oxidation.
• Improve the taste and color of food. It can be used in soy sauce to prevent discoloration, as well increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period, adjust taste. For ice cream, it can improve the capacity of expansion, increase the volume, enhance the emulsification to prevent the destruction of paste, as well as improve the taste and color.
• Anticorrosion performance. The aqueous solution of SHMP 68% can be sprayed on the cured meat to improve corrosion resistance.
• More uses. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, SHMP chemical can improve the juice yield, increase viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. For beans, canned fruits and vegetables, it can stabilize natural pigments and protect food color.
