1. Water Treatment

• Sequestrant: SHMP binds calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and iron ions in water, preventing the formation of scale deposits like calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide on pipes, boilers, and cooling systems. This prolongs equipment life and improves efficiency.
• Dispersant: It keeps suspended particles such as clay, silt, and organic matter dispersed and prevents them from settling, resulting in clearer water and more efficient filtration.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: SHMP can form a thin protective layer on metal surfaces, reducing corrosion caused by aggressive water chemistry, especially in closed-loop systems.

2. Food & Healthcare 

• Emulsifier and Stabilizer: In processed foods like cheese, meats, and seafood, SHMP improves texture by binding proteins and retaining moisture, which enhances mouthfeel and shelf life.
• Chelating Agent: It binds trace metals such as iron and copper that catalyze oxidation reactions, preventing discoloration and spoilage, especially in canned and frozen foods.
• Anti-caking Agent: SHMP prevents clumping in powdered food products, ensuring free flow and ease of handling in production and packaging.

3. Cleaning &  Disinfectants

• Builder: SHMP softens water by sequestering hardness ions, which boosts the performance of surfactants in detergents, making them more effective in removing dirt and grease.
• Dispersant: It keeps dirt and particulate matter suspended in the wash water, preventing redeposition on fabrics or surfaces, resulting in cleaner outcomes.

4. Fabric Solutions

• Dispersant: SHMP improves the dispersion of fine particles in ceramic slip formulations and textile dyes, ensuring uniformity and preventing defects in the final products.
• Water Retention: In ceramics and textile processing, it helps retain moisture during shaping and drying, enhancing product quality and reducing cracking or deformation.

5. Energy

• Scale Inhibitor: In drilling fluids and production systems, SHMP helps prevent the precipitation of mineral scales that can clog pipes and reduce flow efficiency. This protects equipment and reduces maintenance costs.
