Scale Inhibitors

Threshold scale inhibitors prevent scale deposition by blocking the active growth sites on the crystal surface, stopping the precipitation process before it begins. This mechanism ensures minerals remain in solution even at high saturation levels.

Polycarboxylate-based anti-scaling agents go a step further. They adsorb directly onto the crystal surface, preventing its growth and altering the crystal structure. This modification makes crystals less likely to agglomerate and adhere to equipment surfaces. Additionally, these polymers act as effective dispersing agents, keeping particles suspended in the fluid and reducing the risk of blockages.

By combining threshold inhibition, crystal modification, and dispersion, scale inhibitors deliver superior protection for pipelines, heat exchangers, and other critical components—helping industries maintain efficiency, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life.
