When it comes to phosphorus, everyone is no stranger to it, but what is it and how does it relate to life? The manufacturer of industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP share with you what phosphorus is.

Phosphorus is an element that every cell depends on for survival. DNA provides the genetic code of life, and adenosine triphosphate(ATP) is the key to cell energy conversion. In agriculture, phosphorus, like nitrogen and potassium, is one of the three indispensable elements for crops.

Elemental phosphorus, usually called white (or yellow) phosphorus, has a molecular formula of P4, and is only used in the production of a few chemicals. Most of the phosphorus is consumed in the form of phosphate, and most of the phosphorus is used to make high-purity phosphoric acid for some food processing and semiconductor etching. This production method is thermal phosphoric acid, which is made by burning phosphorus in humid air.

Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group is a manufacturer specializing in the production and research of phosphoric acid and phosphate. Sodium tripolyphosphate, industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate, trisodium phosphate, etc. are all the fine use of phosphorus.

Finely produced products in phosphate are widely used in industry, food, medicine and other industries. For example, industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP is not only widely used in industrial water softening, washing, printing and dyeing, but also in environmentally friendly refractory materials today.
