Aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid (ATMP) is a commonly used water treatment agent and corrosion inhibitor with the following main functions:
1. Anti-scaling effect: ATMP can form stable complexes with metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in the water, preventing them from depositing on the surfaces of pipes, equipment and heat exchangers, thereby preventing the formation of scale.
2. Corrosion inhibition: ATMP can form a protective film with the metal surface to prevent metal corrosion.
3. Dispersion: ATMP has good dispersion and can disperse suspended solids and particles in water to prevent them from settling and blocking pipes and equipment.
4. Stability: ATMP has good stability in a wide temperature range and can maintain its performance in high temperature and acid-base environments.
ATMP plays a role in scale inhibition, corrosion inhibition and dispersion in water treatment. It can protect pipelines and equipment, extend their service life and improve water quality. It is widely used in industrial and civil water treatment fields.
