Invisible protection / Longer equipment life
ZINCPHOS-CT™ is an advanced liquid treatment formulated to control corrosion, scale and mineral deposits in open recirculating cooling-water systems.
ZINCPHOS-CT™ combines corrosion-inhibiting and scale-control chemistry for cooling towers, heat exchangers, condensers and industrial cooling circuits. The formulation is designed to establish a protective passivation layer on compatible metal surfaces while interfering with the precipitation and deposition of calcium, magnesium, phosphate and silicate-containing minerals. When supported by accurate dosing, water monitoring and a suitable microbiological-control programme, it can help maintain cleaner heat-transfer surfaces, improve operating reliability and extend equipment service life.
Surface passivation / Deposit control / Reliable heat transfer
One treatment programme.
Multiple cooling-water industries.
ZINCPHOS-CT™ is developed for open recirculating and industrial process-cooling systems containing carbon steel, copper, copper alloys or mixed metallurgy.
Cooling Towers
Combined corrosion and deposit control for open evaporative cooling towers.
Open Recirculating Cooling Systems
Continuous protection as dissolved minerals become concentrated through evaporation.
Heat Exchangers and Condensers
Helps protect heat-transfer surfaces against corrosion and insulating mineral deposits.
Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
Treatment support for industrial cooling circuits operating under demanding process conditions.
Power Plants and Refineries
Corrosion and scale management for high-duty cooling-water infrastructure.
Steel Mills and Manufacturing
Protection for process-cooling equipment used in metal production and industrial manufacturing.
Four protective functions / Integrated into one liquid treatment
Protective surface-film formation (PASSIVATION-GUARD)
Promotes the formation of a thin protective layer on compatible metal surfaces, reducing direct interaction between the water and the underlying metal.
Carbon-steel corrosion control (STEEL-PROTECT)
Helps reduce general metal loss and localized corrosion on carbon-steel components when the prescribed treatment residual and water chemistry are maintained.
Copper and alloy protection (COPPER-GUARD)
Provides corrosion-control support for copper, brass and other copper-alloy components in compatible mixed-metal cooling systems.
Mineral-deposit inhibition (SCALE-CONTROL)
Interferes with the formation and attachment of calcium, magnesium, phosphate and silicate-containing deposits on equipment surfaces.
The science of passivation and deposit control
ZINCPHOS-CT™ combines metal-surface passivation with precipitation inhibition to address two major causes of cooling-system inefficiency: corrosion and mineral deposition.
- Anodic & Cathodic Corrosion Control – Zinc- and phosphate-based inhibitor components influence electrochemical reactions at metal surfaces to reduce corrosion.
- Protective Film Development – Promotes a surface film containing metal, zinc, phosphate or oxide species (film quality depends on pH, alkalinity, calcium, temperature, flow and conditioning time).
- Crystal-Growth Interference – Scale-control components interfere with mineral nucleation, crystal growth and surface attachment.
- Continuous Residual Management – Evaporation, blowdown, leakage and make-up water continuously change inhibitor concentration, requiring controlled dosing and routine monitoring.
