ATMP (Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid) is an organophosphonic acid compound with amino group (-NH₂) and phosphoric acid group (-PO₃) in its chemical structure.ATMP is a common water treatment chemical mainly used as scale inhibitor, dispersing agent, corrosion inhibitor and so on, which is widely used in the following fields:
Water treatment: ATMP is used to prevent scale formation in water systems due to the precipitation of calcium, magnesium and other metal ions, commonly used in cooling water systems, boiler water systems, etc.
Metal anti-corrosion: ATMP has good corrosion inhibition properties, which can prevent metal corrosion in water and prolong the service life of equipment.
Oil and Gas Industry: In the oil extraction process, ATMP can be used to prevent the formation of deposits in water, helping to keep downhole equipment clean and working efficiently.
Detergents and cleaning fluids: ATMP can also be used as a detergent additive to help remove scale, rust and more.
The chemistry of ATMP makes it useful in a variety of industrial applications, especially in environments associated with water and metals.
