Poly Maleic Acid (PMA) is a low molecular weight polymer widely used in Nepal as a high-performance scale inhibitor chemical for industries based in Nepal. It has excellent thermal stability and water solubility with molecular weight in the range of 800–1000 for users in Nepal. It is non-toxic and highly effective in high temperature water systems for local businesses in Nepal.
PMA is widely used in industrial water treatment applications across Nepal such as boiler water treatment, cooling water systems, desalination plants, oilfield water systems, and industrial circulation systems for industries operating in Nepal. It provides excellent protection against carbonate and phosphate scale formation even at high temperature conditions for customers in Nepal.
Due to its superior performance, Poly Maleic Acid (PMA) is widely preferred in Nepal for desalination plants, steam systems, crude oil processing, and petroleum pipelines serving Nepal. It also shows excellent corrosion inhibition for local industries in Nepal when used with zinc salts.
