About HEDP 60%

HEDP (1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1-Diphosphonic Acid) is a threshold scale inhibitor and metal-ion sequestrant. ZEELCHEM™ 101 is supplied as a 60% minimum aqueous solution.

In RO antiscalant formulations HEDP is an ingredient, not a complete antiscalant on its own: performance depends on water chemistry, membrane type, dosage and the full formulation.

HEDP 60% vs HEDP 90%: the 60% grade is a ready-to-use liquid for water treatment and formulation; HEDP 90% is a solid that must be dissolved and is used in specialty applications.

Key benefits

  • Calcium carbonate scale inhibition
  • Metal-ion (Fe, Cu, Zn) sequestration
  • Supports corrosion-control formulations
  • Suited to cooling water and industrial programs
  • Usable in formulated antiscalants where validated
  • Available for industrial and bulk supply

Also known as: HEDP, HEDPA, etidronic acid, 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid

Applications of HEDP 60%

  • Industrial water treatment: mineral deposit control
  • Cooling water treatment (scale and metal deposit control)
  • RO antiscalant formulations (as an ingredient)
  • Process water treatment
  • Detergent and cleaning formulations (sequestrant)
  • Corrosion-control formulations

Dosage and how to use

  • RO antiscalant: per formulation design.
  • Cooling water: based on water analysis (typically 2–10 ppm).
  • Boiler water: laboratory optimisation recommended.
  • Industrial water: determined by pilot or field testing.
