Hydrolyzed Poly(maleic anhydride) (HPMA) – Industrial Grade Water Treatment Dispersant & Antiscalant

Industrial grade HPMA is a high-efficiency antiscalant and dispersant for industrial water treatment and circulating water systems. It features excellent scale inhibition, dispersion and chelating performance, effectively suppressing scale crystallization and deposition on metal pipelines and equipment, maintaining stable water quality and prolonging the service life of water system facilities.
