Melamine-formaldehyde-sodium bisulfite copolymer
What is Melamine-formaldehyde-sodium bisulfite copolymer?
Melamine-formaldehyde-sodium bisulfite copolymer (CAS 64787-97-9), also known commercially as melamine formaldehyde sulfonate sodium salt, is a sulfonated aminoplast polymer used as a dispersant and flocculant.
Where is Melamine-formaldehyde-sodium bisulfite copolymer used?
- Water treatment: coagulation and flocculation of colloidal suspensions in industrial effluent carrying heavy metal ions or organic load
- Process water: sequestrant preventing scale from calcium and magnesium hardness
- Textile and leather: dispersant for dyes and finishing auxiliaries, improving dye uptake uniformity and reducing bath waste
- Pulp and paper: retention aid and drainage improver controlling fiber fines and filler distribution
- Its sulfonated structure provides strong affinity for multivalent ions and suspended particulates.
Commercial specifications
- Concentration and molecular weight variants for different viscosity and performance targets
