Bio-D 2000 is a water-based solution of a catalyzed water soluble sodium salt of polyaspartic acid. This product is used as an environmentally friendly and biodegradable replacement for other polycarboxylates such as polyacrylates, polymaleates and their copolymers and terpolymers. Bio-D 2000 is typically incorporated as an ingredient in formulations used in water treatment and oil production.
Bio-D 2000 is a fully biodegradable water soluble polyaspartate product that can inhibit the formation of precipitating mineral scales such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, barium sulfate and similar salts. It adsorbs onto crystal surfaces and acts as a dispersant to keep nucleate crystals and larger particulates from forming scale that adheres to both non-heat transfer and heat transfer surfaces such as pumps, pipes and heat exchangers.
Bio-D 2000 also has the ability to adsorb onto metal oxide or carbonate surfaces.
