Draft:Acumer polymer
Acumer polymer also simply known as Acumer is a typical flagship brand of polymer manufactured by Dow Chemical Company [1] In simple terms, Acumer helps to alleviate scale formation in water systems, a situation which is induced with the buildup of hard, mineral deposits on surfaces within a water system. In precise, to be specific with the bare minimum to identify the basic definition, thought process and understanding of Acumer polymers is that they are comprised of Low Molecular Weight Polyacrylic Acid along with corresponding sodium salts.[2]
The Acumer polymers are predominantly used in a number of industrial applications ranging from water treatment, oil production, solvent-based coatings, household and industrial cleaners, agricultural pesticides, detergents, Urethane foams, cement grinding aids, corrosion inhibitors and latex emulsion coatings. Acumer polymer is considered to be effective over a wide range of pH. Acumer polymers typically do not contain phosphorus and these polymers have the knack of showing up for a wide range of attributes such as water hardness and temperature conditions.[3]
Practical usage
[edit]The main intention and ambitious efforts of incorporating Acumer polymer in place is to prevent and nullify the deposition of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulphate, while making sure that these Acumer polymers can facilitate the requirements of certain industries that adhere and comply with the strict discharge water regulations.[4]
- Water treatment - Acumer polymers are deployed to refrain/restrict/prevent scale buildup in facilitating necessary arrangements with regards to industrial water treatment and oil production.
- Corrosion inhibitors - Acumer polymers are used as live wires and serve as the fulcrum for the manufacturing purposes of corrosion inhibitors.
- Agricultural pesticides - Acumer polymers are used in agricultural pesticides.
- Coatings - Acumer polymers are commonly incorporated as prime material in solvent-based coatings which also consists of latex emulsion coatings.
