PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

Active Poly Sodium Metasilicate (APSM) is a granular inorganic builder developed for powder detergent and industrial cleaning formulations. The material provides strong calcium and magnesium ion-exchange performance, helping reduce the effects of water hardness and supporting the overall efficiency of detergent systems. APSM also offers good compatibility with different surfactant systems while contributing to dispersion, emulsification, suspension, anti-redeposition, and pH-buffering performance. Its controlled whiteness, granular flow properties, water solubility, and formulation stability make it suitable for modern detergent powder systems, including applications where phosphate reduction or alternative builder systems are desired.
