Product Description
ATMP is an organophosphonic acid compound exhibiting excellent sequestration of metal ions at stoichiometric concentration and threshold inhibition of metal salt precipitation at substoichiometric concentrations The ability of ATMP to deflocculate or disperse solid particles combined with its temperature and hydrolytic stability makes it a versatile ingredient for applications requiring efficient metal ion like FeFe control
Amino trimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP) is a colorless, crystalline solid with the chemical formula N(CH2PO3H2)3. It's an organic phosphonic acid compound that's used in many industrial applications, including:
- Water treatmentATMP is a scale and corrosion inhibitor that's used in boilers, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. It prevents metal ions like calcium, magnesium, and iron from precipitating and depositing as scales.
- Metal treatmentATMP is used as a metal conditioner in industries like textile printing and dyeing.
- OilfieldATMP is used in the oil field reinjection water system of fuel-burning power plants and refineries.
- Textile industryATMP is used in the textile industry.
Here are some other characteristics of ATMP:
- It's highly soluble in water.
- It's prone to deliquescence, making it effective in cold and freezing climates.
- It's highly pure.
- It can be synthesized from a Mannich-type reaction of ammonia, formaldehyde, and phosphorous acid.
- It's acidic, so you should avoid contact with your skin and eyes. If you do come into contact with it, you should flush it with water.
ATMP can be stored in a dry, shady place for up to 12 months
