sodium hexametaphosphate in water
Sodium Hexametaphosphate, or SHMP, is a water treatment chemical widely used for its excellent sequestration and dispersant properties. When added to water systems, it helps prevent scale formation and corrosion by binding with calcium ions that are responsible for scale buildup. Additionally, it can be used as a coagulant to settle suspended solids and turbidity in the water, making it clearer and safer to consume.
In industrial and municipal settings, sodium hexametaphosphate is often used to treat cooling water, boiler feedwater, and other process water streams. By keeping water systems clean, SHMP helps reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of equipment.
