BAYHIBIT® AM

Product Description
50% aqueous solution of 2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC).
BAYHIBIT® AM is a highly effective scale and corrosion inhibitor, designed to meet the highest standards in industrial water treatment and cleaning formulations. It provides reliable protection against deposits and corrosion, ensuring consistent system efficiency and operational reliability. With excellent calcium tolerance and outstanding chemical stability, particularly against strong oxidizing agents, BAYHIBIT® AM maintains performance even under demanding process conditions. It represents a technically advanced and economically efficient solution for modern water treatment and cleaning systems.
THESE SPECIAL FEATURES MAKE THIS PRODUCT SO SUCCESSFUL
Excellent scale and corrosion inhibition even under demanding process conditions, such as high water hardness, temperatures and pH values
Very good calcium tolerance and low tendency to adsorb on turbidity forming matter ensures low inhibitor losses and thus consistent performance
Excellent chemical stability, e. g. against hydrolysis with lyes and acids as well as strong oxidizing agents such as chlorine, bromine, bleach, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and – to a certain extent – ozone
Outstanding solubility in water and concentrated lye solutions for easy handling and dosing as well as consistent performance under various conditions without risk of precipitation
Compatible with common materials such as stainless steel, PVC, PTFE, and graphite
Proven long-term stability and consistent product quality
Favorable environmental profile due to very low phosphorus content compared with other phosphonates, especially in regards to latest wastewater regulations
THE MOST COMMON AREAS OF APPLICATION
Water treatment systems in industrial cooling and process circuits
Cleaning formulations and industrial descaling agents
Corrosion protection in metallic piping and heat exchanger systems
Applications in open and closed cooling water systems
General industrial processes requiring effective scale and corrosion control
