PBTC 50 (Phosphonobutane Tricarboxylic Acid 50%)
Properties:
Phosphonobutane tricarboxylic acid is excellent as both antiscalants and corrosion inhibitors, because of its structural feature of carboxylic acid and phosphoric acid. The PBTC chemical is stable and high efficiency in the condition of high hardness, temperature, pH value, and indexed matter concentration.
While usually building with other organophosphates, PBTC acid also widely works together with zinc salts whose solubility it will increase. Phosphonobutane tricarboxylic acid can improve zinc salt solubility. PBTC 50% also have a higher tolerance to oxidation agents like chlorine or bromine in the system.
The first reaction for PBTC 50% production is between dialkyl phosphite (usually dimethyl phosphate in China) and maleic acid dimethyl ester under basic catalyst. Tetraalkyl ester of phosphonosuccinic acid forms and immediately reacted with methyl acrylate. The following thereupon saponification yields PBTC.

Usage:
As an excellent inhibitor to both scale and corrosion, PBTC 50% is an excellent stabilizer for zinc salt. It is widely applied in the refilling system and circulated cooling system for oil fields, steel mills, and mines. PBTC 50 can be used in situations of high temperature, high hardness, high alkali, and high concentration index.
Besides, phosphonobutane tricarboxylic acid is used to chelate metal ions in lavation and detergent industries as metal detergent. In pH 7-10, 5-15 mg/L is recommended if only PBTC acid. PBTC 50% is usually used together with the zinc salt, copolymer, organophosphine, imidazole, and other water treatment agents. When used alone, the dosage of 5-15 mg/L is preferred.
