Description

2-Butenedioic Acid (2Z)-, Polymer With 2-Propenoic Acid, Compd. With 2,2,2-Nitrilotrisethanol is a high-performance, water-soluble polymer complex designed for demanding industrial applications. This compound, CAS 77261-06-4, is valued for its ability to act as a versatile dispersant, scale inhibitor, and chelating agent in aqueous systems. It is essential for industries requiring precise control over mineral scaling and particulate dispersion, such as water treatment, detergent formulation, and textile processing.

Application

• Industrial Water Treatment: Primary application as a highly effective antiscalant and dispersant for calcium carbonate, sulfate, and phosphate scales in cooling towers, boilers, and reverse osmosis systems.
• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Used as a builder and sequestrant to enhance cleaning efficiency by inactivating water hardness ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) and preventing soil redeposition.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a dispersing agent for dyes and pigments, and as a scale inhibitor in dyeing baths to ensure uniform color and protect equipment.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Employed as a dispersant and chelant in bleaching processes and to control pitch and stickies, improving paper quality and mill efficiency.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as a scale inhibitor in squeeze treatments and in produced water handling to prevent mineral deposition in wells and surface equipment.
• Construction Chemicals: Added to cement admixtures and gypsum formulations as a water reducer and set retarder to improve workability and final strength.
• Personal Care Products: Utilized in select formulations as a stabilizer and chelating agent to enhance product shelf life and performance.
