Oxygen scavengers and alkalizing chemicals

Oxygen scavengers and alkalizing chemicals for high-pressure boilers
KK-AMINA and AMINA are boiler water chemicals for high-pressure boilers. They contain volatile amines and an oxygen binding component.
The oxygen binding component binds oxygen and prevents corrosion by forming a tight magnetite film on all heat transfer surfaces. Volatile amines set the pH of feed water, steam and condensate at an optimal level, preventing corrosion caused by a low pH value.

KK-AMINOX 60 oxygen scavenger
KK-AMINOX 60 has been developed for the deoxidization of feed water in high-pressure boilers and for the passivation of heat transfer surfaces. KK-AMINOX 60 prevents pit corrosion by binding oxygen and by contributing to the formation of a protective magnetite film on heat transfer surfaces. It also reduces the content of soluble metal ions in the system and generates very simple reaction and disintegration products.
Applications:
- in applications where steam is used to moisten ventilated air
- in applications where steam is in contact with pulp or food packaging materials
- magnetite processing
- wet storage of boilers
