Acrylic Acid Maleic Acid Copolymer Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Maleic Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Maleic-Acrylic Copolymer
- MA/AA Copolymer
- AA/MA Copolymer
Acrylic acid maleic acid copolymer is a polycarboxylate polymer supplied for scale-control and dispersant formulations in Malaysia. It is also called maleic acrylic acid copolymer, MA/AA copolymer or AA/MA copolymer and is distinct from acrylic acid homopolymer and polymaleic acid.
Commercial forms include aqueous solution and spray-dried powder grades. Buyers select a grade by molecular weight range, monomer ratio, solids or moisture specification and neutralisation state rather than by one family-wide specification.
Applications include cooling-water, boiler-water and reverse-osmosis treatment, detergent and automatic dishwashing formulations, oilfield water treatment, pigment and mineral-slurry dispersion and textile processing. The polymer can serve as a scale inhibitor or dispersant, but it is not a phosphonate such as ATMP, HEDP or PBTC.
Send the required form, specification, quantity, application and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery timing and the quotation validity period are confirmed for the selected grade.

Acrylic Acid Maleic Acid Copolymer applications
Common questions about acrylic acid maleic acid copolymer
What is acrylic acid maleic acid copolymer used for?
It is used as a polycarboxylate scale-control and dispersant polymer in water treatment, detergents, mineral slurries and related process formulations. Suitability depends on molecular weight, monomer ratio and neutralisation state.
Is MA/AA copolymer the same as sodium polyacrylate?
No. MA/AA copolymer contains both acrylic acid and maleic acid units, while sodium polyacrylate is based on acrylic acid alone and is a separate polymer.
Is this copolymer a phosphonate antiscalant?
No. It is a polycarboxylate polymer and is distinct from phosphonates such as ATMP, HEDP and PBTC, although formulators may compare or combine these chemistries.
Which form should I specify?
Aqueous solution grades suit liquid formulations, while spray-dried powder grades suit dry blends or processes requiring a solid input. State the required solids, molecular weight range and neutralisation state where known.
What is needed for a quotation?
Provide the intended application, form, specification, quantity and delivery location. Packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
