Italmatch Chemicals DEQUEST 2016D Phosphonate Chelating Agent

DEQUEST®2016D by Italmatch Chemicals is a diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP)-based phosphonate chelating agent. It offers exceptional scale and corrosion inhibition in cooling water, boiler, and desalination systems. Highly stable under alkaline and high-temperature conditions, it effectively sequesters Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺, and other metal ions. Widely used for industrial water treatment where phosphate-free, low-toxicity performance is required.
