Product Name – Sodium hexametaphosphate LR Quantity/Pack Size – 500 g Form – Powder Grade – LR (Laboratory Reagent) Application – Water treatment, metal ion sequestration, detergent formulations
Product Overview
Sodium hexametaphosphate LR is a high-purity, white crystalline powder widely used in laboratory and industrial applications. As a laboratory reagent (LR) grade compound, it ensures reliable performance in critical processes such as water treatment, where it acts as a sequestering agent to prevent scale formation by binding metal ions. Its molecular structure, (NaPO₃)₆, provides excellent solubility in water, making it highly effective in formulations requiring uniform dispersion. This compound is particularly valued for its ability to stabilize solutions and enhance the efficiency of detergents and cleaning agents. The LR grade designation guarantees minimal impurities, ensuring consistent results in analytical and experimental procedures. Whether used in research settings or industrial processes, Sodium hexametaphosphate LR offers superior performance due to its high chemical stability and compatibility with a wide range of substances. Its versatility extends to applications in food processing, where it serves as a preservative and emulsifier, though this product is specifically optimized for laboratory use.
