Scale inhibitor: PBTCA can be used as a scale inhibitor to prevent or minimize the formation of hard water scale in water treatment systems. Hard water scale is formed due to the presence of calcium and magnesium ions in the water, which will be deposited on the surface of pipelines and equipment, affecting the operational efficiency of the system.PBTCA can form complexes with these ions, preventing their deposition and scaling.
Chelating agent: PBTCA can form complexes with metal ions and play a chelating role. This ability makes PBTCA useful in corrosion prevention and metal corrosion inhibition, especially for some metal ions such as iron and copper.
Corrosion Inhibitor: PBTC can also be used as a corrosion inhibitor to protect metal surfaces from corrosion and prolong the service life of equipment.
Ligand: In some chemical fields, PBTCA is also used as a ligand, participating in various ligand reactions, used to catalyze or regulate the progress of chemical reactions.
PH Buffer: PBTCA has a pH buffer effect within a certain range, which can stabilize the pH value of the water treatment system and prevent problems caused by pH fluctuations.
