Description

Ethanol, 2,2,2-Nitrilotris-, Compd. With .Alpha.-Tridecyl-.Omega.-Hydroxypoly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl) Phosphate is a specialized organophosphorus compound that functions as a highly effective surfactant and chelating agent. Its unique molecular structure, combining a nitrilotrisethanol core with a phosphated polyethoxylated tridecyl chain, provides powerful sequestration of metal ions alongside excellent surface-active properties. This dual functionality makes it a critical additive in industries requiring scale inhibition, dispersion, and cleaning, particularly in water treatment, textile processing, and industrial cleaning formulations.

Application

• Industrial Water Treatment: Acts as a scale and corrosion inhibitor in cooling towers, boilers, and reverse osmosis systems by sequestering calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions.
• Textile Processing: Used as a dispersing and chelating agent in dyeing and printing processes to improve color uniformity and prevent metal-ion interference.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty alkaline and acidic cleaners for hard surface cleaning, where it enhances soil removal and prevents redeposition.
• Pulp & Paper Manufacturing: Employed as a dispersant and chelant in bleaching processes and to control pitch and deposits.
• Metal Surface Treatment: Functions in pickling and plating baths to control metal ions and improve surface finish quality.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in scale inhibitor formulations for downhole and topside applications to prevent mineral scale formation.
• Agricultural Formulations: Can be utilized as a surfactant and compatibility agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
