Poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt
Poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt (CAS 52255-49-9) is a hydrophilic copolymer of acrylic acid and maleic acid, supplied as a sodium salt. With an average molecular weight (Mw) of approximately 50,000, this versatile polymer exhibits excellent water solubility and dispersant properties. It finds utility in various industrial applications, including water treatment, detergent formulations, and as a scale inhibitor in industrial processes.

Water Treatment
This polymer acts as an effective scale inhibitor and dispersant in industrial water systems. It helps prevent the formation of mineral deposits on heat exchange surfaces and pipework, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance.
Detergent Formulations
Utilised as a builder and dispersant in detergent products, it aids in preventing soil redeposition and enhances the overall cleaning performance by sequestering metal ions.
Industrial Dispersant
Its hydrophilic nature makes it suitable for dispersing particulate matter in various industrial formulations, such as pigments, ceramics, and mineral slurries.
Scale Inhibition
The sodium salt form is particularly effective in inhibiting the precipitation of calcium carbonate and other mineral scales in cooling towers, boilers, and other industrial water circuits.
