					Properties:
					
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					is an organophosphoric acid corrosion inhibitor. It can 
					chelate with Fe, Cu, and Zn ions to form stable chelating 
					compounds.It can dissolve the oxidized materials on these 
					metals’ surfaces.
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					shows excellent scale and corrosion inhibition effects under 
					temperature 250℃. 
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					has good chemical stability under high pH value, hard to be 
					hydrolyzed, and hard to be decomposed under ordinary light 
					and heat conditions. Its acid/alkali and chlorine oxidation 
					tolerance are better than that of other organophosphoric 
					acids (salt).
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					can react with metal ions in water system to form 
					hexa-element chelating complex, with calcium ion in 
					particular. Therefore,
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					has good antiscale and visible threshold effects. When built 
					together with other water treatment chemicals, it shows good 
					synergistic effects.
					
					
					The solid state of
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					is crystal 
					powder, suitable for usage in winter and freezing districts. 
					Because of its high purity, it can be used as cleaning agent 
					in electronic fields and as additives in daily chemicals.

					Usage:
					
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					is used as scale and corrosion inhibition in circulating 
					cool water system, oil field and low-pressure boilers in 
					fields such as electric power, chemical industry, 
					metallurgy, fertilizer, etc.. In light woven industry,
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					is used as 
					detergent for metal and nonmetal. In dyeing industry, 
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) is used as 
					peroxide stabilizer and dye-fixing agent; In non-cyanide 
					electroplating,
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(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,
					
					Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic acid(HEDP) 
					is used together with 
					polycarboxylic acid.
