Product overview
Sodium Hexametaphosphate is a colorless transparent liquid flake or white granular crystal.It is an aggregate of sodium polyphosphate polymers based on repeated NaPO3 units.
It is a water-soluble polyphosphate glass consisting of long cycles of polyphosphate chains.
Properties
| Physical State | White granular crystal |
|---|---|
| Solubility | Soluble in water,It is gradually hydrolyzed in water to form orthophosphate. |
| Insolubility | Insoluble in organic solvents. |
| Alkalinity | Alkaline,near-neutral |
| Hydration States | / |
| Corrosiveness | Non-corrosive |
| Water softener | Effectively soften water quality and prevent scale formation |
| Scale Inhibitor | Disperse insoluble inorganic salts in water, prevent or interfere with the precipitation and scaling function of insoluble inorganic salts on the metal surface |
| Corrosion Inhibitor | It can react with the metal surface to form a protective sodium phosphate corrosion inhibition film to prevent metal corrosion |
Applications
Sodium hexametaphosphate is used as water softener to prevent dye and soap from settling and caking
The principle of softening hard water with sodium hexametaphosphate is that calcium ion Ca++ or magnesium ion Mg++, which causes hardness in water, enters sodium metaphosphate molecules and becomes a very stable soluble complex: Na2{Ca2(PO3)6} and Na2{Mg2(PO3)6}, the Ca++ or MG2 ++ in this complex, is not easy to run out, so it will not make Ca++ or Mg++ encounter dye or soap precipitate or Caking, which can.
