3D TRASAR™

3DT230
Cooling Water Corrosion and
Deposit Inhibitor Product Bulletin

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION

3D TRASAR products are part of an innovative water treatment program that uses proven technology to
prevent operational problems. It compensates for both routine and special causes of system variation. 3D
TRASAR programs provide a return on your investment through their unique control and diagnostic
capabilities.

The 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program is designed for use in systems with recirculating water calcium
concentrations between 50 and 1000 ppm (as CaCO3) at the targeted cycles when the pH is less than
8.7. This product is designed for Alkaline waters. It contains tHSP2 polymer. tHSP2 is particularly
recommended where the HTI is long and where iron and manganese dispersion is a limiting factor. Also it
is convenient where high phosphate concentrations in the make-up and high temperature applications are
a concern.

Because 3D TRASAR 3DT230 technology contains no molybdate or zinc, it should be considered as a

more environmentally friendly chemistry to meet the regulatory needs of many customers.

The 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program can also be used in food processing equipment such as hydrostatic
cookers, retorts, and pasteurizers. It is also a balanced blend of corrosion and scale inhibitors designed
for use in open recirculating water systems.

The 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program contains:

 Dual function phosphonate inhibitor for both cathodic (pitting) corrosion and calcium carbonate
scale. The active material is a patented, proprietary chemical called Phosphinosuccinic Oligomer
(PSO).
 OrthoPhosphate inhibitor for anodic corrosion.
 Organic High Stress Polymer 2 (HSP2) dispersant.
 Blend of azoles for copper corrosion inhibition.

3D TRASAR 3DT230 technology provides a superior alternative to traditional cooling water inhibitor
blends containing pyrophosphate, orthophosphate, zinc, molybdate, etc. PSO is superior to
pyrophosphate in that it will not revert to orthophosphate and is stable in the presence of oxidizing
biocides. As a result, the 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program delivers lower total phosphate concentrations
and less polymer demand. Additionally, because PSO does not revert to orthophosphate, 3D TRASAR
3DT230 technology can be effectively used in systems with long holding time indices (HTI's).

The 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program contains a blend of Tolyltriazole (TT) and Benzotriazole (BZT). This
blend of azoles is more halogen stable and provides improved copper and yellow metals corrosion
protection.

DOSAGE AND FEEDING

For complete dosage and feeding recommendations, consult your Nalco sales engineer.

The 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program should be fed via a closed feed system. A closed feed system is
defined as a system in which fluid is moved from a closed storage vessel into a treated media without
exposure to the atmosphere except through normal venting or pressure relief devices.

3D TRASAR 3DT230 technology must be fed neat to a point in the system where rapid mixing and
distribution will occur. With any 3D TRASAR program, be careful to not feed the product too close to the
sidestream loop for monitoring and control. This will prevent the datalogging of extreme concentration
peaks that could skew the data.

Do not feed two products at the same application point where localized product mixing can occur.

Do not dilute the product or mix with other chemicals. Unwanted interactions may occur that will
decrease or destroy the product's effectiveness. Check chemical inventory and feed rate regularly. Loss
of feed will result in increased corrosion. Feeding to a location just prior to the suction side of the
circulating water pump is recommended. Do not feed into bypass systems.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND TOXICITY DATA

Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all available mammalian and aquatic toxicity information.
SAFETY AND HANDLING
The 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program is acidic and may cause skin and eye irritation. Chemical-resistant
gloves and safety goggles should be worn when handling 3D TRASAR 3DT230 equipment. Read the
Safety Data Sheet for specific personal protective equipment (PPE) recommendations and for health
effects information.

STORAGE
3D TRASAR 3DT230 equipment should be stored in a location where the product temperature can be
maintained between 22oF (-6oC) and 110oF (43oC). In cold climates, heat tracing and insulation of
exposed containers and transfer lines may be necessary.

The recommended in-plant storage limit for the 3D TRASAR 3DT230 program is twelve months.

3D TRASAR 3DT230 technology should be protected from freezing. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) for the most current data.
