How is DTPMPA used in papermaking?
DTPMPA (pentamethylamine pentaphosphate) is mainly used as chelating agent and scale inhibitor in paper industry, the following are its specific applications:
Chelating agent:
Prevent metal ions from interfering: in papermaking process, water often contains metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc. These ions will interfere with the performance of papermaking chemicals.DTPMPA combines with these metal ions through chelating, preventing them from reacting with other chemicals in the pulp and ensuring the smooth progress of papermaking process.
Improvement of paper quality: Chelating metal ions prevents them from negatively affecting the fibres, thus improving the strength and whiteness of the paper.
Scale inhibitor:
Prevents scaling: In papermaking water systems with high water hardness, precipitates such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulphate are easily formed, leading to scaling of the equipment.DTPMPA can prevent calcium and magnesium ions from precipitating by complexing them, protecting the equipment and pipelines, and reducing maintenance costs.
Improve heat exchange efficiency: By preventing scaling, DTPMPA is able to maintain the efficiency of heat exchangers, saving energy and improving productivity.
Anti-corrosion agent:
Extend equipment life: DTPMPA has good anti-corrosion properties that prevent corrosion of piping and equipment, extending their life and reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Overall, the application of DTPMPA in the paper industry not only improves the quality of paper, but also effectively reduces production costs and improves production efficiency.
