Description

Poly(Maleic Anhydride-Alt-1-Tetradecene) is a high-performance alternating copolymer synthesized from maleic anhydride and 1-tetradecene. This material matters for its unique combination of hydrophobic character from the long alkyl chain and reactive anhydride functionality, making it an effective dispersant, scale inhibitor, and surface modifier. Industrial buyers in the water treatment, coatings, and oilfield chemical sectors need this polymer for formulating products that control mineral deposition and improve process efficiency.

Application

• Industrial Water Treatment: Acts as a highly effective scale inhibitor and dispersant for calcium carbonate and sulfate scales in cooling water and boiler systems.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling and production fluids to prevent mineral scale formation in downhole equipment and pipelines.
• Coatings and Inks: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color strength and stability in solvent-based formulations.
• Detergents and Cleaners: Functions as a builder and anti-redeposition agent, enhancing cleaning performance and preventing soil from re-adhering to fabrics.
• Paper Manufacturing: Utilized as a retention aid and dispersant to improve filler and fiber distribution and control pitch deposition.
• Textile Processing: Applied as an anti-precipitant and dispersant in dyeing baths to ensure uniform color application.

Quality Control

Our production of Poly(Maleic Anhydride-Alt-1-Tetradecene) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including acid value, molecular weight distribution, and solid content to ensure consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
