Full Description

Water decoloring agent (CAS 55295-98-2) is a cationic polymer used in effluent treatment. Functioning as a coagulant/flocculant, it adsorbs and neutralizes anionic dye molecules to remove color from wastewater. It is applied chiefly to dye-house, textile, paper, printing-ink, and pigment-industry effluent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a water decoloring agent?

Water decoloring agent (CAS 55295-98-2) is a cationic polymer used in effluent treatment. Functioning as a coagulant/flocculant, it adsorbs and neutralizes anionic dye molecules to remove color from wastewater, applied chiefly to dye-house, textile, paper, printing-ink, and pigment-industry effluent.

How does a water decoloring agent work?

The cationic (positively charged) polymer attracts and neutralizes the anionic charge of dissolved dye molecules, coagulating them into flocs that can be separated from the water. This removes color from effluent rather than merely diluting it.

What industries use water decoloring agent?

It is used to treat colored effluent from dye-houses and textile dyeing, paper and printing-ink operations, and the pigment industry, where dissolved dyes resist conventional treatment. It is applied as a cationic coagulant/flocculant in the wastewater stream.

What is the chemical name and form of this decoloring agent?

It is a cationic polymer decolorant identified by CAS 55295-98-2, typically supplied as an aqueous solution. The exact active content and ionic charge density are confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis; request the CoA and SDS for dosing and compatibility.

How is bulk water decoloring agent packaged and priced?

It ships as a liquid in drums, IBC totes, and bulk for wastewater-treatment operators. Packaging, MOQ, and pricing depend on active concentration and volume; submit a bulk RFQ with your target quantity.
