| Molecular Weight | 270.1306 |
| CAS Registry Number | 37971-36-1;37971-63-1 |
| Molecular Structure |  |
| Product Application | It is an excellent corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor, widely used in scale prevention treatment for circulating cooling water systems and oilfield water injection systems. |
2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-Tricarboxylic Acid (PBTC), also known as PBTCA or 2-phosphono-1,2,4-butanetricarboxylic acid, is a chemical compound with the CAS number 37971-36-1 and the molecular formula C7H11O9P.
It is a colorless or light yellow liquid that can dissolve in water and has a pH of 1. It has high thermal stability and does not hydrolyze at temperatures up to 120°C.
It is widely used as a water treatment agent, as it can prevent corrosion and scale formation in various industrial systems. It can also complex with metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, and enhance the performance of other water treatment agents. It is also used as a chelating agent and a metal cleaner in the detergent industry.
It has low toxicity and moderate irritation, but it is a medium strength acid and should be handled with care.
