TH-1100 Acrylic Homopolymer belongs to the broader class of low-molecular-weight polyacrylic acid homopolymers, which are widely valued for their ability to control mineral behavior in aqueous systems.
Unlike cross-linked acrylic polymers used as superabsorbents, TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer is designed to remain fully soluble in water, allowing it to interact dynamically with dissolved ions and suspended particles.

This solubility is a critical feature because TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer enables the polymer to circulate freely within industrial water systems without forming gels or residues.
From a chemical perspective, the performance of TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer arises from the high density of carboxylic functional groups (–COOH / –COO⁻) along its polymer backbone.

When dissolved in water, especially at neutral to alkaline pH, these groups ionize and create a negatively charged polymer chain.
This charge allows the polymer to strongly interact with positively charged metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and barium.
Rather than completely sequestering these ions like classical chelating agents, TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer modifies their crystallization behavior.

TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer interferes with crystal nucleation and growth, resulting in softer, non-adherent scale that remains dispersed in the water phase instead of depositing on heat-transfer surfaces.
An important technical advantage of TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer is its threshold inhibition mechanism.

Even at relatively low dosages, TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer can significantly reduce scale formation because it disrupts crystal growth at the molecular level rather than relying on stoichiometric binding.
This makes TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer highly cost-effective in large-volume water treatment systems such as cooling towers, boilers, reverse-osmosis pretreatment units, and circulating industrial water loops.

TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer is the homopolymer of low molecular polyacrylic acid and its salts.
Free of phosphate, TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer can be used in situations of low or none content of phosphate.
TH-1100 acrylic homopolymer can be used as high effective scale inhibitor for sugar processing.

Water Solubility & Handling:
The water-soluble polymer is easy to dose into water systems and integrates well with other treatment chemistries.

Phosphate-Free:
Useful in contexts where environmental regulations or process requirements limit or prohibit phosphate use.
