Features & Benefits

Labeling Claims
High Performance Scale Inhibition and Deposit Control

A highly effective anti-filming polymer for automatic dishwash (ADW) formulations, Alcoguard 4160:
• Is an excellent co-builder due to its scale inhibition and dispersing properties
• Provides excellent anti-filming results in typical ADW formulations
• Is stable at high pH, therefore also suitable for use in industrial and institutional formulations
• Available as a liquid, but can be made available as a free-flowing powder or granule
• Shows synergistic effects when used with Dissolvine® GL

Characteristics

Film formation resistance, water hardness control, dispersion of oily and particulate soil, phosphate scale control, soap scale inhibition, very strong co-builder, etc.
