Ufanon‑KDS (also known as Ufanon‑CDE)
Ufanon‑KDS (Ufanon‑CDE) is a proprietary blend of chelating and dispersing agents formulated for use in industrial water treatment and boiler systems. It is designed to control hardness, prevent scale formation, disperse sludge and iron deposits, and enhance corrosion protection. The product is typically supplied as a concentrated aqueous solution and compatible with continuous and intermittent dosing systems. It maintains system efficiency and longevity by stabilizing metal ions and preventing deposit buildup.
Primary Uses
Boiler Water Treatment
Prevents precipitation of calcium and magnesium salts, thus reducing scaling and maintaining heat transfer efficiency.
Helps control sludge build-up in feedwater systems and steam boilers.
Stabilizes iron and metal oxides in suspension to prevent deposit accumulation.
Cooling Water Treatment
Controls hardness and prevents calcium carbonate and sulfate scale in cooling towers and recirculating systems.
Disperses suspended solids and iron particles, preventing fouling of heat exchanger surfaces.
Enhances corrosion inhibition by chelating metal ions that catalyze corrosion reactions.
Desalination & Reverse Osmosis (RO) Pre‑Treatment
Prevents scale-forming salts from precipitating on membranes, extending RO membrane life.
Maintains antiscalant and dispersant action in intermediate water chemistry control.
Industrial Process Water
Used in textile, paper, and food processing plants to stabilize water quality, reduce deposits, and maintain cleanliness in boilers, chillers, and piping.
Secondary Uses
Wastewater Treatment
Stabilizes heavy metals in effluent streams, reducing environmental discharge impact.
Aids in flocculation and suspension of oily/waxy contaminants for easier removal.
Metal Finishing & Plating
Prevents scale formation in rinse water and recirculating systems.
Improves dispersion of particulates and enhances surface finish quality.
District Heating & HVAC Systems
Manages scale and iron deposition in hot water heating loops for efficient operation.
Municipal Water Treatment
Occasionally used in drinking‑water preconditioning to control hardness in specific industrial contexts.
