PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

SHMP 68% Sodium Hexameta Phosphate is a white, odorless crystalline inorganic phosphate material that dissolves readily in water while remaining insoluble in organic solvents. It is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the surrounding air. SHMP can form soluble complexes with various metal ions, including calcium, magnesium, barium, copper, and iron, making it useful in water treatment, dispersion, and formulation applications. The product is available in Industrial Grade and Food Grade specifications, with technical requirements covering P2O5 content, inactive phosphate, iron, water-insoluble matter, pH, and grade-specific impurity limits.
