Chemtex manufactures Descalents which dissolves, disperse or purge scales in heat exchangers & pipelines.



Heat exchangers & pipelines are an essential element in chemical industries. They are known to accumulate rust, scale & soil deposits from time to time.Descalants or Descaling Agents are chemical compounds that effectively dissolves, disperse or purge these scales, rust and soil deposits from by means of re-circulation method, fill and soak method or immersion method.


Proper Corrosion Inhibitors are added in descalants to avoid damage to system metals.After acidic descaling of system, it is important to passivate and neutralize the system with proper Passivating Agents for avoiding chances of flash rusting after descaling.


In some cases Scale Softeners and mechanical means like brushing and scrubbing of tubes is also required for heavily fouled systems.

The dosing of these chemical is a  labour oriented job & requires huge downtime.Due to this the use of alternatives such as Online Descalants and Antiscalants are getting popular.

Chemtex offers a wide range of descalants under its registered trade names of ALSTASCALE for:-

  • ·       Heat Exchanger Descaling Chemical (Condenser Descalant)
  • ·       PHE Descalant (Plate Heat Exchanger Descaling Chemical)
  • ·       RO Membrane Descalant Cleaner
  • ·       Inhibited Sulfamic Acid Boiler Descalant
  • ·       Boiler Online Sludge Conditioner Descalant

The Role and Importance of Demulsifiers in Oil and Gas Industry

  Demulsifier helps to extract oil and purify water, which is especially important in crude oil production and wastewater treatment.   It is a substance that separates an emulsion into components and destabilizes water-in-oil emulsions. In Crude production, Water-in-oil emulsions are typically produced, owing to the presence of emulsifying agents such as surfactants, slits, fine solids, drilling mud, clay, water, and other impurities. These impurities are undesirable need to be removed which would otherwise shackle the quality of the crude.   How does It work? Demulsifier consists of two liquids that are not mixed with each other and tiny droplets of one liquid are evenly distributed throughout the volume of the other. This kind of liquid is called dispersion medium, and the droplets are called dispersed phase. During the demulsification process, a demulsifier accumulates on the surface of the droplets and groups them together.   The process of separating a...

What is EDTA? What are the applications of EDTA?

  E DTA or Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a weak acid used as a chelating agent. Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid contains an amino carboxylic group with the formula C10H16N2O8. It is a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of applications across various industries. EDTA is considered an anthropogenic compound with the ability to sequester various polyvalent cations, use to minimize metal contaminants, and facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces.   How Does EDTA Work? EDTA is a versatile compound with strong chelating properties that grabs metallic cations such as lead or calcium from the process. Its chemical structure contains four carboxylic acid groups and two amine groups, which allow it to form strong bonds with metal ions, preventing them from reacting with other substances, If the bond is weak, other chemicals can break this bond to form their own compounds. EDTA is the most widely used chelating agent for the re...

Polyacrylate based Super Absorbent Polymer – Its Application & Usage

  Recently, materials science has made significant advances, with numerous applications across various industries. One such innovation that has gained enormous attention is polyacrylate-based superabsorbent polymers. They are extraordinary substances that possess the remarkable capacity to absorb and retain large quantities of liquids, which can prove vital in a variety of different sectors, right from personal care products, agriculture to medical applications and beyond. Polyacrylate based Super Absorbent Polymer is composed up of acrylic acid blended with sodium hydroxide to form a three-dimensional network structure that can absorb 300 – 400 times water and retain large amounts of liquid relative to its own weight. The ability of water retention polymer depends upon the ionic concentration of an aqueous solution.   These polymers, also known as SAP, play a crucial role in water management, moisture retention, and enhancing the efficiency of various industries. Let us...
