Microtreat 3226 Boiler Antiscalant

MICROTREAT 3226 Boiler Antiscalant (Water Treatment Chemical)

Product Name: MICROTREAT 3226
Type: Antiscalant for boiler and industrial water systems

What It Is

An industrial antiscalant chemical specially formulated to inhibit and prevent the formation of scale (mineral deposits) on boiler tubes, heat exchanger surfaces, and other high-temperature water circuits. Antiscalants are widely used in boiler water treatment and closed-loop systems to protect equipment from deposition of hardness salts and other scale-forming minerals.

Key Features

• Prevents scale formation: Keeps dissolved salts like calcium carbonate, sulphates, and other mineral salts from crystallizing and depositing on metal surfaces inside boilers and heat transfer equipment.

• Liquid concentrate: Easy to dose using metering pumps or automatic dosing systems.

• Compatible formulation: Typically based on a blend of polymers and phosphonates or similar scale-inhibiting chemistries that disperse hardness ions in water.

• Suitable for industrial use: Effective even at high temperatures encountered in boiler feed water systems.

Functions & Benefits

• Scale inhibition: Prevents formation of hard, adherent scale layers that reduce heat transfer efficiency and increase fuel consumption.

• Improved boiler efficiency: Keeps boiler internals cleaner, maintaining proper heat transfer and lowering energy costs.

• Reduced maintenance: Less frequent manual cleaning of boiler tubes and heat transfer surfaces.

• Extended equipment life: Reduces stress and corrosion that can occur when scale builds up.

Typical Usage

• Used as part of a boiler water treatment program where feed water contains dissolved minerals that can precipitate as scale.

• Added continuously or periodically upstream of boiler feed water or in recirculating systems via dosing pumps.

• Dosage is determined based on water analysis, system size, hardness levels, and operating conditions typically measured in mg/L of antiscalant added to the water stream.

Physical & Chemical Characteristics

(Actual values depend on manufacturers formulation must be confirmed from datasheet)

• Form: Liquid concentrate

• Appearance: Typically clear to amber colored liquid

• Solubility: Miscible with water in all proportions

• Flash Point: Non-flammable or high flash point (varies with formulation)

Handling & Safety

• Wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, goggles) when handling the concentrated chemical.

• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; wash thoroughly after handling.

• Store in a cool, dry place in closed containers.

• Follow the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific hazard and first-aid information.

Packaging

• Usually supplied in drums, barrels, or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) depending on volume needs.
