FEATURES
- Dispersant and inhibitor for CaCO3 and CaSO4 scale in industrial water treatment
- Phosphorous free,can replace phosphonate as scale inhibitor
- No phosphorous discharge
- Stable at all pH levels
BENEFITS
- Acts as an effective scale inhibitor and dispersant against scale formers such as calcium phosphate, calcium sulphate, calcium carbonate, and silt.
- Provides excellent calcium carbonate inhibition even under high alkalinity, high hardness, and high TDS water conditions.
- Enhances overall inhibition performance when used in combination with high-performance dispersant polymers.
- Utilizes smart polymer technology, making it suitable for high-hardness water in side-stream softening systems, while allowing efficient hardness removal in the softener.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
-
Threshold Effect / Solubility Enhancement :
Reduces precipitation of low-solubility inorganic salts by maintaining them in solution. -
Crystal Modification :
Produces small, irregular, and fractured crystals that do not readily adhere to surfaces. -
Dispersing Action :
Prevents crystals and inorganic particles from agglomerating and depositing on system surfaces.
