Chemistry and Mode of Action
ACUMER 3100 terpolymer contains three functional groups: strong acid (sulfonate), weak acid (carboxylate) and a nonionic that provide optimal dispersancy for most particules under a broad range of operating conditions:

It’s carboxylate groups are most strongly attracted to particles surfaces, allowing strong dispersant absorption onto particles.
It’s sulfonate groups are only weakly attracted to the particle surface and retain some residual negative charge to provide repulsion preventing particles from aggregating into larger particles which can settle and deposit on tube surfaces and low flow areas.
It’s nonionic groups further enhance dispersancy by providing steric repulsion between particles.
Dispersancy Performance

It is an outstanding dispersant, far superior to other types of polymers especially for dispersing both dried and hydrated iron oxide, hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate. It is also an excellent stabilizer for corrosion inhibitors such as phosphate, phosphonates and zinc.

Applications

Dispersant and stabilizer for use in all cooling water programs
It excels in the harshest of cooling water conditions, such as extremely high or low Ryznar Indexes, high iron concentrations, high levels of zinc or phosphate added as treatment to the system. ACUMER 3100 is particularly recommended in advanced all-organic programs. The product will maintain excellent heat transfer by its superior dispersancy and, in addition, will help corrosion inhibition by controlling film formation of the organic corrosion inhibitors onto metal surfaces.
Control of boiler sludge
ACUMER 3100 terpolymer is the product of choice for boiler water treatment formulations as it provides unsurpassed control of boiler sludge. The polymer makes it possible to easily transport iron with calcium and phosphate containing sludges for removal during blowdown. Superior iron oxide dispersant, ACUMER 3100 is particularly recommended to control hydrated iron oxide in condensate return line.
Thermal/Hydrolytic Stability

ACUMER 3100 terpolymer is highly resistant to breakdown in aqueous solution under conditions of high temperature, pressure and pH. As a safety measure ACUMER 3100 is not recommended for boilers operating at pressure greater than 900 psig.

ACUMER 3100 is very resistant to hydrolysis as well. The product does not lose its performance capability after storage at pH 13.5 for 6 months at ambient temperature.

Typical Properties of Acumer 3100

ACUMER 3100 Terpolymer
The Anti-Scale Deposition for
“Stressed” Cooling Water Conditions
ACUMER 3100 is a carboxylate/sulfonate/nonionic functional terpolymer. It is a superior dispersant and stabilizer for use in all cooling water programs. When other polymers fail under “stressed” conditions, ACUMER 3100 will maintain excellent heat transfer and low corrosion rates in the system. “Stressed” conditions are found in cooling waters containing high levels of calcium, iron, phosphate, or zinc either, naturally occurring in the feedwater or introduced via treatment. These circulating waters may have either a very low or a very high Ryznar Index since ACUMER 3100 performs well in waters with either a scaling or corrosion problem. It is an excellent anti-scalant agent and, also, a stabilizer for corrosion inhibitors such as phosphate and zinc.
ACUMER 3100 will disperse particulate matter containing calcium, iron, and kaolin and prevent their adhesion to heat transfer surfaces. This terpolymer also prevents the precipitation of phosphonates, and zinc in circulating water with high amounts of calcium, iron, or alkalinity, to allow controlled film formation of these corrosion inhibitors at the metal surface and, thus, maintain low corrosion rates.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
The typical physical properties of ACUMER 3100 terpolymer are listed in Table 1.
TABLE 1
TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
CHEMISTRY AND MECHANISM OF ACTION
ACUMER 3100 terpolymer contains three functional groups: strong acid (sulfonate), weak acid (carboxylate), and a nonionic that provide optimal dispersancy for most particulates under a broad range of operating conditions.
Among the three functionalities, ACUMER 3100 carboxylate groups are most strongly attracted to particle surfaces, allowing strong dispersant adsorption onto particles. ACUMER 3100 sulfonate groups are only weakly attracted to the particle surface and retain some residual negative charge to provide repulsion of similarly charged particles in the cooling water circuit. This repulsion prevents particles from aggregating into larger particles which can settle and deposit on tube surfaces and low flow areas. ACUMER 3100 nonionic groups further enhance dispersancy by providing steric repulsion between particles.
This multi-functional action contrasts sharply to other dispersants, such as polyacrylic acid or polymethacrylic acid, having only carboxylate functionality which can become strongly attached to certain particles, leaving little residual negative charge available to provide dispersancy. Other polymers, such as SSMA can provide better dispersancy than PAA or PMAA on some particle substrates, but do not have the nonionic group which allows ACUMER 3100 terpolymer to function on a broader range of potential foulants.
DISPERSANCY PERFORMANCE
ACUMER 3100 terpolymer outperforms polymaleic acid and competitive polymers under cooling water conditions.

COOLING WATER CONDITIONS, pH = 7.5

STABILIZED PHOSPHATE PROGRAM
Stabilizers control the deposition of phosphate to allow the formation of a very thin protective film on metal surfaces but prevent excessive deposits that reduce heat transfer efficiency. The graphs in Figures 2-4 show that ACUMER 3100 is also the best stabilizer for orthophosphate in high levels of calcium and iron.
FIGURE 2. COOLING WATER — STABILIZED PHOSPHATE PROGRAM
ALL-ORGANIC cooling water treatments rely on high pH (8-9) and high alkalinity (>200 ppm, as CaCO3) to help passivate metal surfaces. Organic phosphonate is used to inhibit CaCO3 precipitation and forms a cathodic corrosion-inhibiting film of calcium phosphonate. A “yellow-metal” inhibitor, such as tolyltriazole, is frequently included to inhibit brass or copper corrosion.
Polymers, such as ACUMER 3100, are used to disperse particulates, inhibit CaCO3 precipitation, and stabilize calcium phosphonate. ACUMER 3100 stands out as the superior polymer for this
program. Figure 5 shows results from phosphonate stabilization tests which demonstrate the superiority of ACUMER 3100.
FIGURE 5. COOLING WATER — ALL-ORGANIC PROGRAM
FORMULATION STABILITY
Formulated products containing inorganic polyphosphates or triazoles are packaged at a high pH to maintain stability of the concentrated formulation. Unlike some competitive polymers, ACUMER 3100 terpolymer exhibited no loss of performance after six months of storage at a pH of 13.5.
TEST METHODS
ACUMER 3100 terpolymer may be analyzed at use concentration with the Hach polyacrylate test kit. This kit employs a patented method developed by Rohm and Haas Company. The kit was jointly developed by Rohm and Haas Company and the Hach Company.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS
Rohm and Haas Company maintains Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on all of its products. These contain important information that you may need to protect your employees and customers against any known health and safety hazards associated with our products. We recommend you obtain copies of MSDS for our products from your local Rohm and Haas technical representative or the Rohm and Haas Company. In addition, we recommend you obtain copies of MSDS from your suppliers of other raw materials used with our product. Under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, workers must have access to and understand MSDS on all hazardous substances to which they are exposed. Thus, it is important that appropriate training and information be provided to all employees and that MSDS be available on any hazardous products in their workplace.
