JL-1000

JL-1000 is a pure acrylic acid homopolymer with a low molecular weight (2000 g/mol) from our new range of deposition control agents and dispersing agents. It can be used in all aspects of modern, all-organic water treatment applications. JL-1000 is effective in inhibiting deposits and incrustations in either cooling water circuits or boiler applications, especially for calcium carbonate. Like other polyacrylic acids, JL-1000 inhibits the build-up of scale at different stages: by stopping the crystal nucleation (Threshold effect), by disturbing the crystal growth which leads to smaller crystal structures and by acting as a dispersing agent for already formed scale. Due to  the lower molecular weight compared to JL-1100, the dispersing efficacy is slightly lower. JL-1000 can be used as a basic ingredient for different water treatment formulations. For optimal performance, we recommend to blend JL-1000 with other, more specialized polymers like JL-2000, JL-3100,  or PCA/PCAC.

Applications:

Modern cooling water treatment (power plants, chemical industry, metal working…)

Solutions for boiler water treatment

Process  water treatment

Deposit control in autoclaves

Usage:

When used alone, the dosage of 10-30mg/L is preferred. When used as dispersant in other fields, the dosage should be determined by experiment.
