Usage:
PTBCA is a high efficient agent as scale and corrosion inhibitor. It is the excellent stabilizer for zinc
salt. It is widely used in circulating cool water system and oilfield refill water system as scale and
corrosion inhibitor, suitable to composite with zinc salt and copolymer.
PBTCA can be used in situations of high temperature, high hardness, high alkali and high
concentration index. In lavation fields, it is used as chelating agent and metal detergent.
PBTCA is usually used together with zinc salt, copolymer, organophosphine, imidazole and other
Water Treatment Chemicals. When used alone, the dosage of 5-15mg/L is preferred.
Package and Storage:
200L plastic drum, IBC (1000L), customers’ requirement.
Storage for one year in shady room and dry place.
Safety Protection:
Acidity, Avoid contact with eye and skin, once contacted, flush with water.
