PAPEMP / PAPMP 40%
Polyamino Polyether Methylene Phosphonate represents the latest evolution in scale inhibition technology. Features extraordinary calcium tolerance (>2,000 ppm CaCO₃) and excellent silica scale dispersion in high-stress, high-pH cooling water circuits.
Technical Specification Target
High Calcium Concentration & Silica Dispersion
Standard phosphonates (like ATMP and HEDP) precipitate when calcium hardness exceeds 500-800 ppm, aggravating heat exchanger scaling. PAPEMP possesses a unique polyether amine backbone that provides complete calcium tolerance up to 2,000 ppm CaCO₃.
It also stabilizes reactive silica, preventing the formation of glass-like colloidal silica scale on reverse osmosis membranes and high-stress refinery cooling loops.
Standard Industrial Dosage
