2-Propenoic acid, telomer with sodium sulfite (1:1), sodium salt

2-Propenoic acid, telomer with sodium sulfite (1:1), sodium salt, also known as Sokalan CP 5, is a low-molecular-weight acrylic acid telomer supplied as a sodium salt. It is identified by CAS 68479-09-4 and functions as a high-performance dispersant and scale inhibitor.

This chemical acts as a sequestrant across water treatment, textile processing, and industrial cleaning applications. In water treatment, it inhibits scale formation from calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate in cooling water and boiler systems.

By reducing fouling and maintenance downtime, it ensures operational efficiency in heavy industrial settings. Textile and leather processors use it as a dispersant and auxiliary agent during dyeing and finishing stages.

It helps to prevent the precipitation of hardness ions that would otherwise interfere with process chemistry. In detergent and industrial cleaning formulations, it acts as a builder and anti-redeposition agent for various surfaces.

The product keeps soils suspended and prevents limescale buildup on equipment and fabrics. Paper manufacturers apply it as a dispersant for pigment slurries and coating formulations to improve runnability and coating uniformity.

Sokalan CP 5 is typically supplied as an aqueous solution, with active content concentrations commonly in the range of 40–45%. It is available in technical grade for a wide variety of industrial applications.

Standard packaging includes drums and IBC containers, with bulk liquid supply available for large-volume procurement. This versatile polymer ensures stability and performance in complex chemical formulations and processing environments.
