Poly Maleic Acid (PMA) is a low molecular weight polymer widely used in Oman as a high-performance scale inhibitor chemical for industries based in Oman. It has excellent thermal stability and water solubility with molecular weight in the range of 800–1000 for users in Oman. It is non-toxic and highly effective in high temperature water systems for local businesses in Oman.
PMA is widely used in industrial water treatment applications across Oman such as boiler water treatment, cooling water systems, desalination plants, oilfield water systems, and industrial circulation systems for industries operating in Oman. It provides excellent protection against carbonate and phosphate scale formation even at high temperature conditions for customers in Oman.
Due to its superior performance, Poly Maleic Acid (PMA) is widely preferred in Oman for desalination plants, steam systems, crude oil processing, and petroleum pipelines serving Oman. It also shows excellent corrosion inhibition for local industries in Oman when used with zinc salts.
