ATMP can be synthesized from the Mannich-type reaction of ammonia, formaldehyde, and phosphorous acid, in a manner similar to the Kabachnik–Fields reaction.[1][2]
Properties
editATMP has good antiscale performance.[3][4] It is related structurally to nitrilotriacetic acid.[5]
Applications
edit- Detergents and cleaning agents
- Fouling
- Inhibition
- Water treatment
