Physical & Chemical Properties
Sodium Hexametaphosphate is an odorless white polyphosphate substance with remarkable hygroscopicity under open environment. It dissolves quickly in water to form a clear and uniform aqueous solution, presenting stable chemical activity at normal temperature. The compound can chelate calcium, magnesium and other metal ions effectively, achieving ideal water softening and anti-scaling effects. It features excellent dispersion performance to prevent particle agglomeration, with stable structural properties and no volatile components during conventional industrial application.
Application Scope
This polyphosphate compound is widely applied in industrial water treatment as anti-scaling agent and water softener to optimize circulating water quality. It acts as an efficient dispersant in ceramic manufacturing, mineral processing and detergent production. It also serves as a stabilizing and texturizing auxiliary in food processing, improving raw material uniformity and product stability in various industrial formulation systems.
Storage Instructions
Store in tightly sealed containers in cool, dry and ventilated conditions. Avoid exposure to humid air to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Keep away from acidic substances to avoid chemical reaction. Proper storage maintains complete chelating and dispersing performance for long-term industrial use.
