About Polymaleic Acid (PMA)

Polymaleic acid is a low molecular weight polymer of maleic acid that works as a scale inhibitor, dispersant, chelating agent and crystal modifier.

It performs well in boilers and evaporators where temperature and alkalinity are high, and stays stable in the presence of chlorine and other oxidisers.

The right choice between polymaleic and polyacrylic acid depends on water chemistry, temperature, pH and regulatory requirements. Our technical team can help you choose.

Key benefits

  • Controls CaCO₃, CaSO₄ and phosphate deposits
  • Effective at high alkalinity and high temperature
  • Stable with chlorine and oxidising biocides
  • Disperses silt and clay
  • Compatible with phosphonates and zinc salts

Also known as: PMA, HPMA, hydrolysed polymaleic anhydride, maleic acid homopolymer

Frequently asked questions

What is polymaleic acid used for?

As a scale inhibitor and dispersant in boilers, cooling water, RO/desalination and evaporators, especially in high-alkalinity water.

Polymaleic acid vs polyacrylic acid – which is better?

PMA tolerates higher temperature and alkalinity; PAA is a strong general dispersant. Selection depends on water chemistry, temperature and pH.

What is the price of polymaleic acid?

₹150/kg (₹7,500 per 50 kg carboy), excluding GST and transport.
