Sodium Polyaspartate is biodegradable non-phosphorus polymer, as chelating agent, dispersant and scale inhibitor, used in water treatment, detergents, polymer viscosity reducer, agriculture, ect.
Polysuccinimide (PSI) is a water-insoluble, light yellow powder that is a hydrolyzed precursor to polyaspartic acid salts, and can be used in a variety of areas of polyaspartic acid applications as a slow-release type product.
Sodium polyaspartate and polysuccinimide are often used in low-phosphorus or non-phosphorus products in water treatment chemicals.
Uses
- As a phosphorus-free biodegradable chelating agent and dispersant, sodium polyaspartate can used as water treatment chemical, to chelate metal ions, especially change the crystal structure of calcium salts to form soft scale.
PASP-Na is used in the fields of seawater desalination, oil field water, RO (Reverse Osmosis) scale inhibitor, industrial circulating water, boiler and steam lines and so on. - Sodium polyaspartate is also used in detergents, pigment dispersants, oilfield drilling fluid viscosity reducer, coal mine polymer viscosity reducer, , metal cutting fluids, ceramic, pulp and papermaking chemicals, textile printing and dyeing dispersant, agriculture, ect.

Routes for synthesizing:
There are two common process routes for synthesizing salts of polyaspartic acid. First route, food grade aspartic acid is used as the main raw material. This route was chosen for food grade potassium polyaspartate.
Second, maleic anhydride is used as the main raw material. Water treatment grade product is usually produced by this method.
Ralated Chelating Agents:
usually used as scale inhibitor, cleaner, metal ions control, etc.
Traditonal Chelating Agents:
Aminopolycarboxylates: EDTA, EDTA-Na/K, DTPA & DTPA-5Na/5K
Polyphosphonates: HEDP, DTPMP, ATMP
