Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) – Technical Grade is an inorganic polyphosphate used primarily as a sequestrant, dispersant, and water-softening agent in industrial, commercial, and specialty cleaning applications. It effectively binds calcium, magnesium, and other hardness ions, preventing scale formation and significantly improving cleaning performance.

In detergent and cleaning applications, Sodium Hexametaphosphate helps eliminate the dull, dingy grey or yellow film that can build up on fabrics after repeated washing with soap or detergent in hard water. Regular use prevents this residue from forming, keeping fabrics, wool, and textiles brighter and cleaner. The required dose rate depends on the hardness of the water and the level of mineral content present.

For washing and scouring sheep fleece and wool, SHMP is particularly effective at removing dirt, grease, lanolin residues, and mineral salts while improving detergent efficiency. It is widely regarded as a modern alternative to traditional wool-scouring additives such as Calgon.

Sodium Hexametaphosphate is also highly effective in dishwashing and equipment cleaning applications, where it cuts grease, leaves surfaces and utensils spotless, and acts as a scale inhibitor. With regular use, it helps prevent scale buildup and contributes to keeping dishwashers and washing equipment clean and efficient.

Beyond cleaning applications, SHMP is widely used in water treatment, ceramics, mining, pigments, drilling fluids, textiles, and pulp & paper processing, particularly where clay deflocculation, hardness control, and slurry stability are required.

Technical Grade Sodium Hexametaphosphate is supplied for industrial and commercial use where food or pharmaceutical purity is not required.
