01 /Applications

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.
