How AA/AMPS Copolymer 40% Works
Sulfonate groups
Stay ionized at low pH and in high-salinity brines.
Negative zeta potential
Charges suspended particles so calcium phosphate, iron silt and zinc flocs repel each other.
Steric hindrance
Bulky side groups stop iron oxide and silt from settling on heat-transfer surfaces.
Key Benefits
- Controls calcium phosphate and calcium phosphonate deposits
- Keeps zinc corrosion inhibitors soluble up to pH 9.0
- Disperses iron oxide and silt, even with soluble iron above 1 ppm
- Works with HEDP, PBTC, BTA, tolyltriazole and biocides
- Helps prevent phosphate, iron and silica fouling on RO membranes

What is AA/AMPS copolymer used for?
It is a sulfonated copolymer that disperses calcium phosphate, iron oxide and silt, and stabilizes zinc in cooling water programmes.
What is the typical cooling tower dosage?
8–20 ppm active in phosphate or zinc-based cooling water programmes.
What are the active content and pH of ZEELCHEM™ 3100?
At least 40% active solids, with a pH of 2.5–4.5 as a 1% aqueous solution.
How does AA/AMPS control iron oxide and silt?
Its sulfonate groups give particles a strong negative charge, and its bulky groups add steric hindrance, so particles stay dispersed.
Is AA/AMPS compatible with phosphonates and biocides?
Yes. It works with HEDP, PBTC, BTA, tolyltriazole and oxidizing or non-oxidizing biocides.
Can AA/AMPS be used in RO systems?
Yes, at 3–8 ppm active, to prevent calcium phosphate, iron and silica fouling on polyamide membranes.
What packaging is available?
60 kg carboys, 250 kg virgin HDPE drums, 1,250 kg IBC totes and road tankers.
What is the shelf life?
24 months in sealed original packaging, stored dry and ventilated at 5–40 °C.
What PPE is required?
Safety goggles, chemical-resistant nitrile gloves and a protective apron.
Do you provide COA and MSDS with every batch?
Yes. Every ZEELCHEM™ 3100 consignment ships with a batch Certificate of Analysis, and the TDS and 16-section GHS Safety Data Sheet are available on request.
