What is KR-801?

KR-801 is a phosphonate-based chemical commonly used as a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor in various industrial water treatment applications. It is a product primarily employed in systems where hard water and mineral scaling can cause operational issues, such as cooling towers, boilers, and heat exchangers.

While the specific composition and formulation of KR-801 may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer, it is generally known to contain a phosphonocarboxylate compound. Phosphonocarboxylates are a class of chemicals that combine the properties of phosphonic acids and carboxylic acids, giving them both chelation and dispersing abilities. These properties are essential for preventing the formation of hard water scales and controlling corrosion in water systems.

Key Features of KR-801:
Scale Inhibition: KR-801 is designed to prevent the formation of calcium, magnesium, and other mineral scales that can form in water treatment systems, reducing the risk of buildup on equipment and pipes.

Corrosion Protection: It provides protection to metal surfaces by preventing corrosion, particularly in environments where the water is aggressive due to high mineral content or pH variations.
