Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid

(ATMP)

CAS No.: 6419-19-8                                               EINECS No.: 229-146-5

Molecular Formula: N(CH2PO3H2)3                           Molecular Weight: 299.05

RIDADR: UN 3265 8/PG III

Structural Formula: 

Properties: 
ATMP  has good chelating, low limit inhibition and lattice distortion  ability. It can prevent the formation of scale salts in water, especially the formation of calcium carbonate
scale.ATMP has good chemical stability and is hard to be hydrolyzed in water. When the water concentration is high, it shows a good corrosion inhibition effect.
ATMP is used in circulating cooling water of thermal power plants and oil refineries, also in oil field water injection system, to play a role in reducing the corrosion and scaling of
metal equipment or piping. ATMP is used as metal ion chelating agent or metal surface treatment agent in the textile printing and dyeing industry.
The solid state of ATMP is crystalline powder, easily soluble in water, easy to absorb moisture, and easy to be transport and used, especially suitable for cold winter areas.
