In industry, sodium hexametaphosphate is widely used, including cleaning agents, refractory materials, mineral processing, ceramics, and industrial water treatment. In most of these industries, when applying sodium hexametaphosphate, it needs to be dissolved before being added. As the sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturer, we often get the question of how much water is needed to dissolve sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP?

Sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP is soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents. In the application of addition, it is necessary to consider the composition of the other raw materials involved and the desired effect. For example, most of them will use the chelating ability and dispersing power of sodium hexametaphosphate to metal ions, and they must not be used in production. Does not consider factors such as water content, PH, temperature, etc. These parameters can only be calculated by technicians involved in actual production.

The molecular weight of sodium hexametaphosphate is 611.82, the relative density is 2.484, and it is easily soluble in water. The theoretical basis is that 973.2g is dissolved per liter of water at 20°C, and 1744g is dissolved per liter of water at 80°C. The pH value of 10g/L aqueous solution is 5.8-7.0, the instantaneous solubility, saturated solubility, hydrolysis process, heating crystallization, optical and electrical properties, viscosity, density and surface tension of sodium hexametaphosphate, and even colloidal properties and hygroscopicity.

The main factor of the water required to dissolve sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP is its instantaneous solubility and saturated solubility.
