Phosphonates
Phosphonates exhibit multi-functional properties such as sequestration, de-flocculation, threshold inhibition and stability to oxidizing biocides such as chlorine, bromine, and peroxides. The amalgamation of these properties enables the use of phosphonates in a wide range of applications such as the treatment of cooling and process water.
Application areas include:
- Textile processing
- Detergents
- Paper and pulp mills
- Desalination plants
- Cleaners & Detergents
- Peroxide stabilization
- Oilfields
- Swimming pools and spas
Key Features and Benefits
- Threshold Effect/ Scale Inhibition: Ability of very small amounts of scale inhibitors to keep large quantities of scalants in solution
- Sequestration: Keep a metal ion in solution, preventing its negative side-effects
- Dispersion: Prevents the agglomeration of scale particles
- Corrosion Control: Provides synergistic corrosion control when used with zinc, phosphates, nitrates, molybdates, and others
