Polymaleic Acid (PMA) is a high-performance homopolymer designed for exceptional scale inhibition in aqueous systems. Our Technical Grade aqueous solution is highly effective at preventing calcium carbonate precipitation in high-temperature environments.
The product offers superior threshold inhibition properties, maintaining its efficacy even in high-alkalinity and high-hardness water. It functions through crystal lattice distortion, preventing scale from adhering to heat exchange surfaces.
Due to its chlorine stability and low toxicity, PMA is a preferred choice for cooling towers and boiler water treatment. It is also utilized in industrial cleaning for its excellent sequestration and dispersing capabilities.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Polymaleic Acid (CAS 26099-09-2) to customers in more than 40 countries.
