UN-1000 polymer is a general
purpose scale inhibitor as it is
effective to inhibit
precipitation of calcium
carbonate, calcium oxalate,
calcium sulfate, barium sulfate,
and other low solubility salts.
(similiar to RohmHaas Co. ACUMER
1000)
UN-1000 is a low molecular weight
polyacrylate with a selected
molecular weight around 2000 to
optimize the anti-scale
performance through at least
three mechanisms:
Solubility enhancement by
threshold effect, which reduces
precipitation of low solubility
inorganic salts (calcium
carbonate in particular).
Crystal modification, which
deforms the growing inorganic
salt crystal to give small,
irregular, readily fractured
crystals that do not adhere well
to surfaces and can be easily
removed during cleaning
operations.
