Characteristics

Uses and Applications

Key applications

  • Water Softner

Industries

  • Homecare

Applications:

  • A key element in water conditioning systems for eliminating calcium and magnesium from hard water.

  • Reduces the amount of scale that forms on pipes, appliances, and plumbing fixtures, thus increasing their life expectancy.

  • Used as a component in laundry detergents and dishwashing liquids to provide better cleaning performance in water hardness.

  • Enhances the efficiency of washing and prevents build-up of mineral deposits on detergent particles.

  • Found in the textile dyeing process, metal plating, and even in paper production.

  • Enhances product quality and improves processing efficiency by removing hardness and preventing scaling.

  • While used in the formulation of boiler water treatment chemicals to combat scale formation and corrosion on steam boilers.

  • Increases the lifespan of boiler systems and boosts energy efficiency.

  • Used as part of cooling tower treatment programs to reduce scale build-up and thus reduce wastage of water.

  • It assists in the conservation of cooling towers and lowers the cost of maintenance.

Packing

Zeolite 4A is usually packed in bags or bulk carriers for shipping and storing purposes. Its packaging makes it easy to handle and store for use in industries or large commercial establishments.
