Acrylate Polymer Scale Inhibitor (Dishwasher Grade)
Acrylate-based polymer scale inhibitor is specifically formulated to prevent lime scale (calcium carbonate) and silica deposits on dishwasher heating elements, spray arms, and wash chamber surfaces. It acts as a crystal growth inhibitor and dispersant, keeping calcium and magnesium salts in suspension for rinse-off. It is a key functional ingredient in automatic dishwasher detergent tablets, powders, and machine care products.
