Geogard SX
Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for Geogard SX. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product identification
Geogard SX is a scale and fouling inhibitor, an aqueous solution based on a phosphinocarboxylic acid copolymer, designed for controlling amorphous silica scale, particularly in geothermal and high-temperature applications.
Application
Geogard SX offers:
- Cost-effectiveness
- Prevention of silica deposition on above-ground equipment
- Reduction in deposition rates by over 90%
- Minimal dosage requirements
Benefits
Geogard SX effectively distributes silica deposition by polymerizing monomeric silica, making it more effective than traditional anti-scalants.
