Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) for Water Treatment
Polyacrylic acid is a low-molecular-weight anionic polymer used as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in cooling water, boiler water, and industrial water systems. It prevents the formation and deposition of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and other mineral scales on heat exchange surfaces. PAA is compatible with oxidizing biocides and other water treatment chemicals.
