Posted by PBTC stands for 2 – Phosphonobutane – 1,2,4 – tricarboxylic acid. Here are its main uses:
1. In water treatment as a scale and corrosion inhibitor
PBTC is a highly effective chelating agent. It can complex with metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron in water. In cooling water systems, for example, the presence of these metal ions can lead to the formation of scale deposits on the surfaces of pipes and heat – exchange equipment. PBTC binds to these metal ions and prevents them from precipitating and forming scale, thus maintaining the heat – transfer efficiency of the equipment and reducing energy consumption.
It also provides corrosion inhibition. By forming a protective film on the metal surfaces, it isolates the metal from corrosive substances in the water such as dissolved oxygen and acids. This helps to extend the service life of water – handling equipment, including pipes, boilers, and cooling towers.
2. In detergents and cleaning products
PBTC can enhance the cleaning performance of detergents. It helps to break down and remove stubborn stains and deposits. In laundry detergents, it can assist in removing hard – water – related stains by sequestering the metal ions present in hard water that can interfere with the cleaning action of surfactants.
In industrial cleaning applications, such as for cleaning metal surfaces or process equipment, PBTC – containing cleaners can effectively dissolve and remove scale, rust, and other contaminants, leaving the surfaces clean and ready for further processing or use.
