Sodium Hexametaphosphate

Sodium hexametaphosphate is a colorless transparent glass flake or white granular crystal, which is easily soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents. It is highly hygroscopic and can gradually absorb moisture and become a viscous substance when exposed to the air. It can form soluble complexes with metal ions such as calcium and magnesium.

Sodium hexametaphosphate is used to manufacture water treatment agents, corrosion inhibitors, metal surface treatment agents, cement hardening accelerators, coated paper pulp diffusers, and oil drilling. Food-grade sodium hexametaphosphate is mainly used as a quality improver, chelating agent, fermentation leavening agent, pH value regulator, etc.
