Phosphonates

Description

Phosphonates are compounds derived from phosphonic acid (H₂PO₃) that offer diverse applications in the chemical industry. At Emsa Tecnología Química, we have a wide range of phosphonates, including HEDP, EDTMP, DTPMP, ATMP, HDTMP and PBTC. These compounds are used in a variety of sectors due to their unique properties as chelating and stabilizing agents.

In water treatment, phosphonates play a crucial role in preventing the settling of minerals and other solids. Their ability to keep solids in suspension prevents the accumulation of deposits in pipes and equipment, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
Phosphonates act as effective anti-corrosion agents in water systems, protecting metals and equipment from the corrosive effects of aquatic environments. This helps to extend the life of equipment and reduces the need for costly repairs and replacements.
Thanks to their powerful chelating action, phosphonates are incorporated in the formulation of detergents and cleaning products. Their ability to sequester metal ions prevents the formation of deposits and stains, improving the effectiveness of cleaning products and extending the life of washing equipment.
In the textile and paper industry, phosphonates act as stabilizers of bleaching agents. This ensures a uniform and effective distribution of the bleaching agents, improving the quality of the final product and avoiding destabilization problems during the manufacturing processes.

Applications and use

Phosphonates

Application

Water treatment

Use

Phosphonates are widely used in water treatment to prevent sedimentation of minerals and other solids in industrial systems. They are also essential in the protection of metal surfaces against corrosion in desalination and cooling processes, ensuring more efficient and long-lasting operation of the systems.

Phosphonates

Application

Detergency and home care

Use

In the formulation of detergents and cleaning products, phosphonates act as sequestering agents. Their ability to remove metal ions from water prevents the formation of deposits and stains, significantly improving the performance of cleaning products and the effectiveness in removing dirt and mineral residues.

Phosphonates

Application

Textile and Paper Industry

Use

In the textile and paper industry, phosphonates are used to stabilize bleaching agents during the processing of fabrics and papers. This ensures consistent bleachability and prevents premature degradation of bleaching agents, improving the quality of the finished product and optimizing production processes.
