Calcite Crystal Habit Modification with INITIA™ 585 Polymer Additive

Crystal Habit Modification is the basis for the control of mineral scales such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate. One of the most unique benefits of INITIA™ Polymer Additives is their profound efficacy as crystal habit modifiers.

The concept of Crystal Habit Modification is simple and qualitative. INITIA™ Polymer Additives adsorb onto the surface of a forming crystal lattice, impede the directional growth of the lattice, and subsequently promote the formation of precipitated crystals that are abnormal in shape, size, and overall appearance.
