2. Key Industrial Applications of SHMP
2.1 Industrial Water Treatment
Sodium Hexametaphosphate is widely used for scale inhibition and dispersion in industrial water treatment systems:
- Binds Ca2+, Mg2+ and other hardness ions to reduce scale formation
- Helps disperse suspended solids and iron deposits
- Improves circulation water system stability and performance

2.2 Detergents & Industrial Cleaning
In industrial and institutional detergents, SHMP acts as a builder, water softener and dispersant:
- Softens water to enhance surfactant efficiency
- Helps prevent redeposition of dirt and soils
- Improves cleaning performance in heavy-duty formulations
You can combine SHMP with STPP and other builders for optimized industrial detergent systems:

2.3 Ceramics, Refractories & Construction Materials
Industrial SHMP is used as a dispersant and deflocculant in:
- Ceramic body and glaze
- Refractory materials
- Some construction and casting slurries
It can improve slurry fluidity, reduce water demand and enhance dispersion properties, helping to achieve better processing and final product quality.

3. Typical Industrial Dosage Ranges (Reference Only)
The actual dosage of SHMP depends on formulation design, system conditions and local regulations. The ranges below are for reference only and should be validated in your own tests.
- Water treatment / scale inhibition: dosage adjusted according to hardness level and system design
- Detergent & cleaning formulations: often used as part of total builder package
- Ceramic / refractory slurry: typically used at low dosage as dispersant

6. Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial SHMP
Q1: What is the main difference between SHMP and STPP in industrial use?
Both SHMP and STPP are polyphosphates. STPP is widely used as a builder in detergents and ceramics, while SHMP is especially valued for water treatment, scale inhibition and dispersion.
The choice depends on your application and formulation requirements.
Q2: Can I use industrial-grade SHMP for food applications?
No. Industrial-grade SHMP is designed for non-food use only.
If you need SHMP for food applications, please consider the corresponding food-grade product and follow relevant food regulations.
Q3: Do you also supply food-grade Sodium Hexametaphosphate?
Yes, we can supply food-grade SHMP via a separate grade.
For food-grade inquiries, please refer to or contact us directly so we can suggest the right grade and COA.
Q4: How can I get a quotation for SHMP?
Please send us your required grade, annual demand, packaging type and destination port via the contact form or WhatsApp.
