AA/AMPS Copolymer (CAS: 40623-75-4) is a high-performance scale inhibitor and dispersant for water treatment. Ideal for high pH, high hardness conditions in cooling water, textiles, and pulp & paper applications.
Product Name: AA/AMPS Copolymer (Acrylic Acid-2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer)
CAS Number: 40623-75-4
Synonyms: Sulfonated Polyacrylic Acid Copolymer; AA-AMPSA; AA-AMPS
AA/AMPS Copolymer is a high-performance water-soluble polymer synthesized from Acrylic Acid (AA) and 2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid (AMPS). Its unique molecular structure combines carboxyl groups for superior scale inhibition and dispersibility with highly polar sulfonic groups, ensuring exceptional calcium tolerance and stability under challenging water conditions.
Excellent Scale Inhibition: Highly effective against calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, and zinc scales, with outstanding performance in controlling iron oxide deposition.
Superior Dispersancy: Provides exceptional dispersion of suspended solids and colloids, enhancing system cleanliness.
Broad Compatibility: Synergizes effectively with organic phosphonates and other water treatment additives for enhanced performance.
High Tolerance to Extreme Conditions: Ideal for high pH, high alkalinity, and high hardness environments, supporting high-concentration cycle operations.
Multi-Industry Applicability: Suitable for cooling water systems, textiles, pulp & paper, and other industrial applications.
