Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A method for preventing calcium carbonate scale formation in industrial cooling water systems which comprises treating said cooling water with at least 0.5 ppm of a composition comprising (I) a water-soluble alkali metal or ammonium polyacrylate having a molecular weight between 3,000-12,000 and (II) a phosphate ester derived by reacting phosphorus pentoxide with a polyol of the formula: HO--)xR[--O(R.sub.1 O--).sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH]y wherein R is a saturated, hydrocarbon radical having two to six carbon atoms, R 1 is a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR3## x is a number average in the range of 0-5, inclusive, y is a number average in the range of 1-6, inclusive, and the sum of x plus y equals 3-6, and z is a number average in the range of 0-3, inclusive. wherein said phosphate ester is a phosphated glycerol which has been reacted with 1.5 to 2.5 moles of ethylene oxide per mol of glycerol, and said composition has a weight ratio of I:II within the range of 1:5 to 5:1.
