DETPMP (diethylenetriamine Penta (methylene phosphonic acid)

CAS No. : 15827-60-8Molecular Weight: 573
Molecular Formula: C9H28N3O15P5Brand Name:  ZEELCHEM™ 131  

Product Features:

DETMP is a highly effective threshold scale inhibitor for carbonate, sulfate, and phosphate scales. It can inhibit scale formation at very low dosage levels (ppm), which are calculated based on the hardness of the water. As an organophosphonate, it exhibits excellent metal ion sequestration at stoichiometric concentrations. These attributes make it suitable for a range of applications, including peroxide bleaching, textile auxiliaries, industrial and institutional cleaning, and detergent formulations.

Moreover, it possesses outstanding hydrolytic and thermal stability, allowing it to remain effective across a wide pH range and at high temperatures, making it ideal for high-temperature applications. It is also employed as a scale inhibitor in the oil and gas industry.

Applications:

  • Water treatment solutions
  • Additives for detergents and personal care items
  • Industrial and commercial cleaning agents
  • Additives for oilfield operations
  • Stabilizers for peroxide bleach in textiles and auxiliary chemicals for leather
