Description
Hexamethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic acid) potassium salt, CAS 38820-59-6, is a phosphonate chelating agent supplied as its hexapotassium salt form. It is commercially known as K6HDTMP, HDTMPA·K6, and Dequest 2054. No E-code applies to this substance.
In industrial water treatment, K6HDTMP inhibits scale formation by binding calcium, magnesium, and iron ions that would otherwise precipitate on heat exchanger surfaces. In oil and gas operations, it functions as a corrosion inhibitor and threshold agent, disrupting crystal growth in produced water systems at low dosage concentrations. Textile and paper processing applications use it to sequester hardness ions that interfere with dyeing and bleaching chemistry.
K6HDTMP is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. It is handled and supplied in compliance with applicable industrial chemical regulations, with no food-grade or pharmacopoeial designation. Procurement teams should confirm concentration grade and packaging format directly with our technical sales team.
