Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid (ATMP) is a high-efficiency organophosphonic acid renowned for its exceptional chelation, low threshold inhibition, and lattice distortion capabilities. Specifically engineered to prevent the formation of scales—particularly calcium carbonate—in industrial water systems, ATMP ensures optimal operational efficiency by maintaining the cleanliness of metal equipment and pipelines.
With superior chemical stability and high resistance to hydrolysis, ATMP serves as a critical component in circulating cooling water systems, oilfield water pipelines, thermal power plants, and oil refineries. Its versatility extends to the textile dyeing and metal surface treatment industries, where it acts as a high-purity chelating agent to ensure precise process control and surface quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
ATMP is primarily used as a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor in industrial circulating cooling water systems, oilfield water pipelines, thermal power plants, and as a chelating agent in textile dyeing and metal surface treatments.
It utilizes excellent chelation, low threshold inhibition, and lattice distortion abilities to prevent the precipitation of minerals, particularly calcium carbonate, keeping the water system clear.
For corrosion inhibition purposes, a preferred dosage of 20-60mg/L is recommended, whereas for general scale inhibition, 1-20mg/L is usually sufficient.
Yes, ATMP is typically used together with organophosphoric acids, polycarboxylic acids, and various salts to build comprehensive, high-performance organic alkaline water treatment agents.
Both forms should be stored in a shady, dry room. ATMP is stable for up to ten months under these conditions. The solid powder is particularly suitable for freezing districts due to its properties.
As ATMP is an acidic product, avoid direct contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. In case of accidental contact, rinse the affected area immediately with plenty of water.
