A retarding-corrosion antiscaling compound for the surface-evaporating air cooler used in high-hardness and high-basicity circulating water system is prepared from zinc sulfate 15-25 wt. portions, acrylic acid-acrylate copolymer 30-36 portions, hydroxy-1-1-ethylene diphosphonic acid 34-46 portions, and benzotriazole 4-6 portions. It still exhibits good performance under the condition of relatively bad quality of circulating water. Its advantages are its effect little affected by turbidity, adapting to wide pH range, high effect, and low dosage. |
