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