Description
Acrylic acid-2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid copolymer belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organosulfonic acids. Organosulfonic acids are compounds containing the sulfonic acid group, which has the general structure RS(=O)2OH (R is not a hydrogen atom). Acrylic acid-2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid copolymer is a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa).
Chemical Properties
Acrylic Acid-2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer is the copolymer of acrylic acid and 2-acrylanmido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS). Due to including carboxylic group (scale inhibition and dispersion) and sulfonic acid group (strong polarity) in this copolymer, AA/AMPS has high calcium tolerance and good scale inhibition for calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and zinc scale. When built with organophosphines, the synergic effect is obvious. Acrylic Acid-2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer is suitable to be used in water quality of high pH and high alkaline, it is one of the ideal scale inhibitor and dispersant on high concentration index.
Uses
Acrylic Acid-2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer can be used as scale inhibitor and dispersant in open circulating cool water system, oilfield refill water system, metallurgy system and iron & steel plants to prevent sediment of ferric oxide. When built with organophosphorines and zinc salt, the suitable pH value is 7.0~9.5.Acrylic Acid-2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer can also be used as dyeing auxiliaries for textile.
