HEDP
1-Hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-Diphosphonic Acid
CAS No.: 2809-21-4
Other Name: HEDPA
Molecular Formula: C2H8O7P2
Molecular Weight: 206.02
Properties:
HEDP is an organic phosphoric acid corrosion inhibitor. It can chelate with Fe, Cu, and Zn ions to form stable chelating compounds. It can dissolve the oxidized materials on the surfaces of these metals. HEDP shows excellent scale and corrosion inhibition effects even under temperature 250℃. HEDP has good chemical stability at high pH value. It is hard to hydrolyze and to decompose under ordinary light and heat conditions. It has acid resistance, base resistance and it resists oxidation by chloride. These three performances are better than other organic phosphoric acids (salts). HEDP can react with metal ions calcium ion in water to form hexa-element chelating complex, with in particular. Therefore, HEDP has good antiscale effect and obvious threshold effect. When built together with other water treatment chemicals, it shows good synergistic effects.
The solid state of HEDP is crystal powder, it is suitable to use in winter and in freezing districts. Because of its high purity, it can be used as cleaning agent in electronic fields and as additives in daily chemicals.

Usage:
HEDP is used as scale and corrosion inhibition in circulating cooling water systems, low-pressure boilers, oil field water injection, and oil pipelines in the fields such as electric power, chemical industry, metallurgy, fertilizer, etc. In light textile industry, HEDP is used as detergent for metal and nonmetal. In dyeing industry, HEDP is used as peroxide stabilizer and dye-fixing agent; in non-cyanide electroplating industry, HEDP is used as chelating agent. The dosage of 1-10mg/L is preferred as scale inhibitor, 10-50mg/L as corrosion inhibitor, and 1000-2000mg/L as detergent. Usually, HEDP is used together with polycarboxylic acid.
