HomoPolymer
Products Homo Polymer
DIQUEST 1400 (Scale inhibitor) polymer is a general-purpose scale inhibitor as it is effective
to inhibit precipitation of calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate, calcium sulphate, barium
sulphate, and other low solubility salts.
PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance: Clear to hazy yellow liquid
pH (As it is at 25 °C):: ~ 3.6
Viscosity Brookfield ~ 200
(mPa.s at 25 °C)
Bulk density (at 25 °C): ~ 1.25
ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS
- Contain no phosphorus, making its use acceptable where legislation requires that discharge waters contain low or no phosphorus.
- Exhibit exceptional stability in the presence of hypochlorite.
- Show good anti-scaling efficiency at low dosage over a wide range of pH, water hardness and temperature conditions.
- Show a higher degree of solubility in presence of Ca2+than other higher molecular weight
- homopolymers Offer a strong dispersant activity contrarily to phosphonates.
PERFORMANCE MECHANISM
Solubility enhancement by threshold effect, which reduces precipitation of low solubility
inorganic salts (calcium carbonate in particular).
Crystal modification, which deforms the growing inorganic salt crystal to give small,
irregular, readily fractured crystals that do not adhere well to surfaces and can be easily
removed during cleaning operations.
Dispersing activity, which prevents precipitated crystals or other inorganic particles from
agglomerating and depositing on surfaces
