ACUMER 3100

ACUMER 3100 is a superior phosphate and zinc stabilizer in stressed cooling water systems and an excellent iron and sludge dispersant in boilers.
ACUMER 3100 is Phosphates and zinc stabilizer for anti-scale / anti-corrosion water treatment formulations. 
Also demonstrates excellent efficiency in the presence of soluble iron where acrylic polymers fail. 

ACUMER 3100 is a carboxylate/sulfonate/nonionic functional terpolymer. 
ACUMER 3100 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. 
ACUMER 3100 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.

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:
-ACUMER 3100 carboxylate groups are most strongly attracted to particles surfaces, allowing strong dispersant absorption onto particles.

-ACUMER 3100 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.

-ACUMER 3100 nonionic groups further enhance dispersancy by providing steric repulsion between particles.

Usage of ACUMER 3100:
ACUMER 3100 carboxylate-sulfonate nonionic terpolymer can be used as a scale inhibitor for circulating cool water and boiler water, for phosphate, zinc ion and ferric in particular. 
When ACUMER 3100 used alone, the dosage of 10-30mg/L is preferred. 

When used in other fields, the dosage should be determined by experiment.
Dispersant and stabilizer that can be used in cooling water programs. 

ACUMER 3100 terpolymer excels in harsh cooling water conditions, such as extremely high or low Ryznar Indexes, high iron concentrations, high levels of zinc or phosphate added as a treatment to the system. 
ACUMER 3100 is particularly recommended in advanced all-organic programs.

This carboxylate-sulfonate nonionic terpolymer can maintain excellent heat transfer by ACUMER 3100 exceptional dispersancy and. 
In addition, ACUMER 3100 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 ACUMER 3100 provides unsurpassed control of boiler sludge. 
The polymer makes ACUMER 3100 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 ACUMER 3100 performance capability after storage at pH 13.5 for 6 months at ambient temperature. 
Approval ACUMER 3100 is TUV approved for use in boilers under the reference: 06-KG-66

Chemistry and Mode of Action of ACUMER 3100:
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:

ACUMER 3100’s carboxylate groups are most strongly attracted to particles surfaces, allowing strong dispersant absorption onto particles.
ACUMER 3100’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.
ACUMER 3100’s nonionic groups further enhance dispersancy by providing steric repulsion between particles.

Dispersancy Performance of ACUMER 3100:
ACUMER 3100 is an outstanding dispersant, far superior to other types of polymers especially for dispersing both dried and hydrated iron oxide, hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate. 
ACUMER 3100 is also an excellent stabilizer for corrosion inhibitors such as phosphate, phosphonates and zinc.
