About Product
Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a salt that is primarily used as a sequestrant in food additives and other industries. It is made up of the elements Na6[(PO3)6]. To make products for water softening and detergents, add sodium carbonate to raise it to 8.0–8.6. In addition, SHMP is employed as a dispersing agent for evaluating soil texture, a deflocculant in clay-based ceramic particles, and an active component in toothpastes to prevent tartar and staining.
