Frequently Asked Questions

What is ATMP.Na4?

It is Aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid) Tetrasodium Salt (CAS 20592-85-2), the tetrasodium salt of ATMP, an organophosphonic (aminophosphonate) chelating agent. It functions as a chelating agent, scale inhibitor, corrosion inhibitor, and dispersant.

What is the use of ATMP chemical?

ATMP and its salts are used to control mineral scale in industrial water systems, inhibit corrosion in circulating and process water, sequester calcium, iron, and other metal ions, and serve as a process aid in petroleum-production water treatment.

What is the sodium salt of phosphonic acid?

In this product it is the tetrasodium salt of aminotrimethylene phosphonic acid, meaning the phosphonic acid groups are neutralized with sodium. This yields a less acidic, ready-to-dose form of the ATMP chelant versus the free acid.

What HS code applies to ATMP.Na4?

It ships under HS 2931.90, covering other organo-inorganic compounds. Confirm the destination-country classification with your customs broker.

What is the cost of bulk ATMP.Na4?

Bulk pricing depends on grade, concentration, and volume. Request a quote from RawSource with your target quantity and packaging; the product ships in drums, totes, or IBCs with CoA and SDS available on request.
