Original DTEA

DTEA as Biocide

DTEA Original - Dow Chemical

The chemistry is from a family of known mineral flotation chemicals and corrosion inhibitors.

It was designed as an alkaline stable broad spectrum biocide and algaecide replacement which penetrated biofilm and also removed and tore off layered biofilm. Dow dropped the product in about 1999 at about the time it purchased the Angus and Union Carbide biocide lines. Original strategy called for marketing to Nalco, Betz, Calgon, Buckman, and related companies.  AWT, small, and medium companies were to buy through distributors. (The new chemistry is called DTEA II™ and is available on a near exclusive basis to AWT. small, and medium companies.)

TODAY - AMSA DTEA II

  • DTEA II™ is not warranted, used or recommended for any biocidal purposes in the USA
  • DTEA II™ is a multi-functional molecule and therefore has many uses
  • sold by AMSA, Inc. as an OEM product for private labeling
  • an organic penetrant
  • water based in formula
  • stable and persistent at all pH levels
  • compatible with corrosion inhibitors
  • low foaming and controlled foam formulation (AMSA DTEA II F11)
  • protective of bare metal in water, thus prevents sludge build-up
  • not affected by oils, organics, or processed stream leaks
  • dislodges and converts sludge to water slurry
  • can be used in the presence of ammonia or hydrogen sulfide
