2,4,6-Tri-(6-aminocaproic acid)-1,3,5-triazine

2,4,6-Tri-(6-aminocaproic acid)-1,3,5-triazine (CAS 80584-91-4, EC 279-505-5) is a triazine-based aminocarboxylic acid supplied under trade names including Belcor 590 and Irgacor L 190. It carries no assigned E-code. The molecule combines a symmetric triazine core with three aminocaproic acid arms, giving it a multidentate chelating structure.

In industrial water treatment, the compound binds calcium, magnesium, and heavy metal ions to prevent scale deposition in cooling and boiler circuits. It also functions as a corrosion inhibitor by forming stable metal-ligand complexes at metal surfaces, reducing anodic dissolution. These properties extend its use into oil and gas process water management and textile processing baths where metal ion control is critical.

The material is supplied in compliance with REACH registration requirements applicable to EU markets. Procurement teams should confirm available physical form and packaging configuration directly with the supplier, as grades may vary by application sector.
