GL 5004A

Polymer Composition:
A Low Molecular Weight Polyacrylate Solution
Polymer Type:
Dispersant
Stabilizer:
N/A

Characteristics

  • It is APEO free, formaldehyde free and glycol free dispersant and scale inhibitor
  • Water soluble products are added to water to inhibit excessive scale formation from precipitation and deposition of insoluble salts of calcium, magnesium and barium
  • Glosperse 5004A is not susceptible to eutrophication and is not a primary nutrient for aquatic life forms. Glosperse 5004A has shown no harmful effects on fish, algae or bacteria
  • It contains neither phosphates nor heavy metals. Glosperse 5004A has an average molecular weight of about 2000 determined by intrinsic viscosity

Application

  • Used in the treatment of re-circulated cooling water for scale inhibition and prevention of fouling by insoluble salts
  • Used in the treatment of boiler feed water to inhibit scale and to control sludge accumulation
  • Has an advantage over natural organic sludge conditioners in that as they are colourless, colour contamination is thus avoided where steam is used for processing purposes, for example in textiles or bleaching of pulp-paper
  • Used as a base polyacrylate to formulate dispersing agents for paints
