As recently announced, Redox was named Dow’s channel partner for industrial acrylic additives. This partnership enables Redox to take responsibility for distributing Dow’s advanced polymers, specifically designed to meet the needs of water treatment, mining, and mineral processing applications with unmatched efficiency.

The ACUMER™ range of scale inhibitors comprises Low Molecular Weight Polyacrylic acids and their corresponding sodium salts, offering a phosphorus-free solution for industries adhering to strict discharge water regulations.

Key Benefits of ACUMER™ Polymers:

Let’s look at a few of these in more depth.

Performance of ACUMER™ Scale Inhibitors in Scale Control for Cooling and Boiler Systems.

Cooling circuits are widely used across industries to dissipate heat by circulating water. However, recirculating water tends to accumulate impurities, leading to the precipitation of salts. These salts and other particles can form deposits on equipment surfaces, reducing heat transfer efficiency and increasing operational and maintenance costs.

To combat these challenges, Dow ACUMER™ polyacrylate water-soluble scale inhibitors effectively prevent scale formation in cooling systems, boilers, and evaporators. ACUMER™ Polymers work by dispersing salts to prevent deposition and modifying their structure, making scale less adhesive and easier to manage.

These inhibitors effectively address the particulate matter, including calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, calcium phosphate, silica, silicate, silt, and iron, reducing their ability to stick to heat transfer surfaces and ensuring optimal system performance.

Table 1. ACUMER™ scale inhibition performance (product selection guide)

 

ACUMER™ 2000 Polymer

ACUMER™ 2000 is a high-performance acrylate copolymer specifically formulated to enhance the stabilization of phosphate-based water treatment systems. It also serves as an effective stabilizer in zinc-containing treatment programs. Additionally, ACUMER 2000 efficiently disperses common inorganic particulates and maintains its performance even under pH fluctuations.

Designed for high-alkaline storage stability, ACUMER™ 2000 allows for the convenient formulation of single-package water treatment solutions, making it a reliable choice for long-term use in demanding environments.

ACUMER™ 5000 Polymer

ACUMER™ 5000 is a proprietary multifunctional polymer with a molecular weight of 5000, specifically designed to inhibit silica and magnesium silicate scale formation. It effectively disperses colloidal silica and minimizes magnesium silicate scale buildup on heat transfer surfaces, ensuring optimal system performance.

Key Applications & Benefits:

This combination of scale inhibition, stability, and versatility makes ACUMER™ 5000 a reliable solution for water treatment applications in both cooling circuits and high-pressure boilers.

While most people may know hydrogen peroxide for its use in hair bleaching, this versatile compound has much more to offer. As a green and sustainable oxidizing agent, it finds its applications across a broad range of industries. But can hydrogen peroxide’s environmentally friendly properties make it an important component in the transition towards sustainability by replacing less eco-friendly chemicals?

Hydrogen peroxide, a colourless liquid compound of hydrogen and oxygen with the chemical formula H2O2, is an increasingly in-demand and versatile chemical known for over two centuries. Unlike many chemicals, hydrogen peroxide is entirely natural and occurs in rainwater, snow, and even the human body. It decomposes to only water and oxygen, making it an environmentally friendly product. This unique property makes it valuable in times of increased environmental awareness. Hydrogen peroxide is not only used for hair bleaching but has a disinfectant and antibacterial effect that eliminates odours, making it a cleaning agent for home and wounds. It’s in high demand across industrial sectors, including paper, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and electronics, and is used in water treatment, chemical syntheses, and rocket fuel.

Its effectiveness can be enhanced when combined with other substances such as iron ions, UV radiation, or ozone.

Why is Hydrogen peroxide sustainable?

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical with a distinctive ability to decompose into two non-toxic substances, water and oxygen, once it has served its purpose. This makes it an exceptional chemical with minimal environmental impact and a sustainable alternative to other less eco-friendly chemicals that have long plagued our environment.

Hydrogen peroxide is fast becoming a popular choice in various applications, such as cleaning agents and disinfectants, where the need for safe and environmentally-friendly products has never been greater. Furthermore, it could replace other hazardous chemicals used in manufacturing processes, especially in the paper, food, and cosmetic industries.

Hydrogen Peroxide in cosmetic products

As public interest in sustainability continues to climb, many cosmetic manufacturers are seeking more natural and environmentally-friendly ingredients for their products. The benefits of “green” beauty products extend beyond trends — increasing studies show the toxicity of conventional cosmetics, and the natural cosmetics market continues to grow rapidly and consistently.

Even in its manufacturing process, hydrogen peroxide can be produced using renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, making it even more sustainable. The autoxidation process used to produce hydrogen peroxide requires only hydrogen, oxygen, and water as raw materials, which are readily available and can be produced sustainably.

Its environmentally friendly nature makes it an excellent candidate for the much-needed transition towards sustainability, and with the ever-growing demand for greener alternatives, hydrogen peroxide is indeed a chemical for the future.
