                        Properties
                        PAA is innoxious and soluble in water. It can be used in situations of alkaline and high concentration without scale sediment. PAA can disperse the microcrystals or microsand of calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate. PAA is used as scale inhibitor and dispersant for circulating cooling water system, papermaking, weave, dyeing, ceramic, painting, etc.

                        Application
                        PAA can be used as scale inhibitor and dispersant in circulating cooling water systems in power plants, iron & steel factories, chemical fertilizer plants, refineries and air conditioning systems. Dosage should be in accordance with water quality and equipment materials. When used alone, 1-15 mg/L is preferred.
