Sodium Hexametaphosphate Package of 6 1lb Bottles

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP), Package of 6 x 1lb Bottles

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a high-quality, dry-powder dispersing agent essential for accurate soil particle size analysis. When mixed into a soil hydrometer solution, SHMP effectively prevents fine clay and silt platelets from clumping together (flocculating). This ensures that individual soil particles settle independently during sedimentation, allowing for a precise determination of silt and clay fractions as required by standard testing methods.

This bulk package contains six 1lb bottles, offering a convenient and cost-effective supply for busy soil testing laboratories.

Key Features:

• Effective Dispersion: Reliably prevents the aggregation of clay particles in sedimentation solutions, ensuring accurate and repeatable test results.
• High Purity: Manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of various geotechnical testing standards.
• Convenient Packaging: Supplied as a package of six individually sealed 1lb (0.45kg) bottles to maintain product integrity and allow for easy storage and handling.
• Cost-Effective: Purchasing in bulk reduces costs and ensures you have an adequate supply for ongoing testing needs.
