Sodium Polyacrylate (PAAS) - High-performance scale inhibitor and dispersant for industrial water treatment, paper manufacturing, textiles, and construction applications. Non-toxic and effective in alkaline conditions.
Product Name: Sodium Polyacrylate (PAAS)
CAS Number: 9003-04-7
Chemical Name: Poly(acrylic acid sodium salt)
Sodium Polyacrylate (PAAS) is a non-toxic, water-soluble polymer that effectively operates under alkaline and moderate concentration conditions without scale formation. This high-performance dispersant prevents the sedimentation of microcrystals or deposits of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and other salts through superior dispersion capabilities. As a versatile water treatment solution, PAAS serves as both an effective scale inhibitor and dispersant in various industrial applications including power plants, chemical processing facilities, refineries, and HVAC systems, while also finding extensive use in paper manufacturing, textile printing, ceramics, coatings, and construction materials.
Excellent Scale Inhibition: Effective dispersion of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and other salt deposits
Broad pH Compatibility: Maintains performance in both alkaline and neutral conditions
Environmentally Safe: Non-toxic and environmentally friendly formulation
Multi-Industry Application: Suitable for diverse industrial and commercial applications
Superior Solubility: Readily soluble in water for easy handling and application
Enhanced System Efficiency: Improves operational performance through effective deposit control

PAAS is engineered for excellence across multiple industries:
Industrial Water Treatment: Cooling water systems in power plants, chemical plants, fertilizer facilities, and refineries
HVAC Systems: Air conditioning and cooling tower water treatment
Paper Manufacturing: Effective dispersant and retention aid in paper production
Textile Industry: Dye dispersion and printing auxiliary applications
Construction Materials: Concrete water-reducing agent and dispersant
Ceramic Production: Slip dispersion and rheology modifier
Coatings & Paints: Pigment dispersion and stabilization
General Industrial: Various process water and manufacturing applications
PAAS is typically used in formulation with other water treatment chemicals. Optimal dosage and formulation should be determined through testing based on specific water quality parameters and system materials. For standalone use, recommended concentration is 2-15 mg/L. In applications such as concrete water reduction or textile processing, dosage should be established through performance testing.
Packaging: 200L plastic drums or 1000L IBC containers
Custom Packaging: Available upon request
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area in original sealed containers
