2-Phosphonobutane -1,2,4-Tricarboxylic Acid

Product Name:2-Phosphonobutane -1,2,4-Tricarboxylic Acid (PBTCA)
CAS No.:37971-36-1
Molecular formula:C7H11O9P
Appearance: colorless to light yellow liquid
Function:PBTCA has low phosphorus content and good scale and corrosion inhibition performance, which is superior to commonly used organic phosphonic acids. Especially at high temperatures, its scale inhibition performance is far superior to commonly used organic phosphonic acids. It can improve the solubility of zinc, has good chlorine oxidation resistance, and has good synergistic properties when compounded. PBTCA is widely used in the formulation of efficient scale and corrosion inhibitors, and is one of the best performing products. It is also an excellent stabilizer for zinc salts. Widely used for corrosion and scale inhibition in circulating cooling water systems and oilfield water injection systems, especially suitable for compounding with zinc salts and copolymers. PBTCA can be used as a chelating agent and metal cleaning agent in the washing industry.
