Maxinol PM200 Polymers Polymaleic Acid
Polymaleic Acid - Maxinol PM 200 Polymers
About Maxinol PM200
Aquapharm is an independent, family owned business manufacturing high performance polymers, phosphonates, biocides and biodegradable chelants which are delivered worldwide for home laundry & industrial cleaning, membrane & thermal desalination, and industrial water treatment applications. With investment into state-of-the-art research & development facilities, processes & people, our mission is to equip your business with the most cost-effective solutions.
By focussing on the demands of recirculating evaporative cooling water processes, we have developed a new improved polymaleic acid (PMA), Maxinol® PM200. PMA’s are long established components of cooling water formulations, but their variable quality can often lead to product instability & formulation problems. Such problems are avoided using Aquapharm’s Maxinol® PM200.
MAXINOL, PM200 ADVANTAGES:
- has all but eliminated residual monomer & inactive low molecular weight impurities
- is stable to pH adjustment, conferring greater resilience to formulations and eliminating formulated product quality issues
- has broader deposit control properties for both calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate
MAXINOL PM200 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
PRODUCT STABILITY
Process development at Aquapharm has enabled an industrial scale solvent polymerisation of maleic anhydride with unrivalled efficiency. Aquapharm delivers polymaleic acid with minimal impurities and by-products, enhancing formulation stability and helping to build confidence in your brand.
This can be observed by simple adjustment of product pH. Using an alternative solvent based polymaleic acid (PMA), impurities readily precipitate, creating sediment and changing product appearance. Maxinol® PM200 stability is maintained throughout these adjustments. With Maxinol® PM200 you choose higher quality and are less likely to experience formulation stability problems commonly associated with other solvent based PMA’s.
HALOGEN TOLERANCE
Maxinol® PM200 is at least as halogen tolerant as other based PMA’s and will provide maximum flexibility for controlling microbial activity in a cooling system.
MAXINOL® PM200 CALCIUM CARBONATE & CALCIUM SULFATE INHIBITION PROPERTIES
Simple jar testing is frequently used to assess additives for deposit control properties. Figures 1 & 2 reveal the superior performance properties of Maxinol® PM200 versus an alternative solvent based polymaleic acid (PMA).
Under severely stressed conditions (e.g high cycles of concentration), process water can become supersaturated with respect to calcium sulfate. Maxinol® PM200 offers an additional feature of effectively controlling calcium sulfate precipitation where other PMA’s do not.

CALCIUM CARBONATE DYNAMIC TUBE BLOCK TEST
Dynamic tube block testing is another technique used to assess the properties of additives, in this case their efficiency in supressing crystal growth at surfaces. Figure 3 summarises data from experiments which measure how pressure builds in stainless steel capillary tubes when solutions of anions & cations are mixed together, in the absence & presence of inhibitors. Clearly, Maxinol® PM200 is able to moderate calcium carbonate growth long after alternative solvent polymaleic acid has been overwhelmed. Polymers are tested at 1 mg/L as solids.
MAXINOL PM200 SUMMARY
FEATURES/BENEFITS:
- Improved polymerisation efficiency delivers a new high-purity maleic homopolymer
- All-organic formulations are robust & resilient eliminating stability & quality problems
- Efficiently stabilises recirculating cooling water at high cycles of
concentration, offering both carbonate & sulfate deposit control - Minimises fresh water make-up, chemical treatment & blowdown costs
- Effective over a wide range of water chemistry, providing greater flexibility &
protection during system upsets - Reduction / elimination of maintenance costs & production Losses.

Donated Garbage Collection Vehicle to Kharavali Grampanchyayt which has enabled door to door collection of segregated waste from 8 villages.
‘Daan Utsav’ – Clothes donation drive for underprivileged population
Environment & Disaster Response
More than 500 trees were planted involving 120 volunteers
Donated Rs. 11.50 lakhs for development of Covid Centre at Mahad which was the only centre supporting 30 villages nearby. More than 1000 patients were treated at this centre free of cost
Covid 19 Vaccination Drives
Distribution of Food kits (Grain, salt, tea, vegetables) in 8 villages in Mahad during Lockdown
Supported 6 villages in Mahad which were severely affected by Flood in 2021 by providing them clothes, grocery and life saving safety packages
Senior Citizen Care
Yoga
Brain Treat sessions include activities which are designed to boost brain functions like memory, problem solving, reasoning, critical thinking etc. which are stimulating to left as well as right brain
Art Therapy uses colours, papers, clay as a medium to express creatively as well as emotionally. The activities like mask making, name decoration, postcard making etc. involves creative use of art to provide a nonverbal expression and communication to foster self-awareness and personal growth.
Dance Therapy – Instead of simply dancing for aerobic exercise, dance or movement therapy uses dance as a therapeutic tool. It utilizes the movement of the body in conjunction with the emotional connection in an intentional way.
Music Therapy sessions involve listening to specific types of music, creating music and singing together which indirectly affects the physical and mental state in a positive way
Mind & Movement Workshops involves games which are based on physiological parameters like balance, strength, flexibility, hand eye coordination
Awareness Sessions on Physical Health, Mental Health, Financial Literacy, Legal Literacy and other topics relevant to senior citizens
Game Room & Library
Film Appreciation Club
Art & Craft Workshops
Infrastructure Development
Constructed Community Toilet blocks for villagers of Kalijgaon thus improving sanitation conditions of the village.
Donated Portable toilets to Nandgaon Grampanchyat which are mainly used by passengers and drivers at MIDC transport facility – Photo already on website
Education
Construction of separate toilet facility for girls students in Zilla Parishad School, Temghar which has surely created a hygienic facility for girls hence reducing the absenteeism
Knowledge sharing sessions on technical and inter personal skills are conducted for Class 10th students of Samartha Vidyalay, Nandgao with an aim to engage youth through Industry-Academia Collaboration
A new Science Lab was constructed for Shri Ganeshnath School, Aamshet which has encouraged students to perform practical experiments in Science Subject thus improving their quality of education.
Health & Wellness
Donated Laminar Flow Machine and air conditioning facility to Jankalyan Blood Bank at Mahad which the only blood bank between Panvel and Ratnagiri. This machine has enabled them to maintain a hygienic atmosphere thus avoiding blood transfusion cases.
Regular Blood donations Drives are organised by the Foundation to address the blood shortage problem during difficult times. More than 50 employees participate in this drive every year.
