It is supplied in liquid form and available as partially or fully neutralized grades.
Applications:
Automatic dishwashing
Powder and liquid fabric wash
Laundry additives
Industrial and Institutional detergents.
Benefits:
Inhibition of crystal growth, thus preventing precipitation of carbonates phosphates or silicates.
Dispersion of precipitates in the cleaning bath to avoid settling and scaling on surfaces and fibers.
Improvement of filming maintenance by soil dispersion, which minimize organic components deposition on glass and dish wares.
Increase of bleach stability especially in chlorinated formulations by binding heavy metals which destabilize chlorine species through catalytic reactions.
Use in medium alkaline to very alkaline formulations, thanks to high solubility of ACUSOL™445 in caustic products. Caustics should be added slowly to a water premix containing polymer to avoid high pH gradients
