Your sales and supply contact

H2Q INC. handles U.S. sales, customer service, quotations and sales contracts. Jiyuan Qingyuan Water Treatment Co., Ltd., China, handles manufacturing, research and development, and export procedures. Tell H2Q your grade and destination so we can review the order requirements.

H2Q’s role and business contact · Manufacturer information and evidence

Grade and order quantity

Specify the supplied form, exact grade, content reporting basis and impurity limits that your purchasing specification requires. State your trial quantity or recurring demand, with units. Minimum order quantity is confirmed individually for the grade, package and destination; there is no single minimum across this catalog.

Review HPAA specifications. The reference tables do not establish current availability or an accepted order quantity.

Timing and shipment review

Give your required delivery date, destination city and state, ZIP code or receiving port, and preferred delivery terms. H2Q confirms lead time, packaging, transport arrangements and delivery terms for each order in the quotation and sales contract. Qingyuan handles export procedures; import responsibilities must be agreed for the destination.

Availability and delivery timing are confirmed for the specific order; this page does not indicate U.S. inventory.

Packaging for your request

The manufacturer lists these reference packaging options for HPAA:

  • Liquid: 200 L HDPE drum; 1000 L IBC.

Review HPAA packaging and storage. Ask for confirmation of the package, labeling and shipping arrangement for your grade and destination.

Prepare a useful HPAA inquiry

  • Product and specification: HPAA / CAS 23783-26-8, supplied form and grade, specification and content basis.
  • Application and order: intended use, quantity with units, packaging, destination and target date.
  • Technical documents: identify the grade-specific TDS or batch information you need. Contact H2Q for the SDS appropriate to your product and destination, including during supplier qualification.
  • Sample discussion: sample requests are confirmed by email. Include the product, specification, requested quantity and destination so the sample and shipping arrangements can be agreed.

Specification and supply checklist

Phosphonate identity and solids
Specify HPAA, CAS 23783-26-8, as an organic phosphonate. The reference value of at least 50.0% is solids content, not an active-acid assay or a polymer concentration.
Corrosion evaluation and formulation
Identify the metal surfaces, water chemistry and existing ingredients, including zinc salts or polymers. Define the corrosion tests and results required before approving the product.
Impurities and test conditions
Review phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid and iron limits against your acceptance criteria. Compare pH using a 1% solution and density at 20°C, as specified in the reference.
Documents, storage and quantity
Request the current TDS and SDS, specify the batch-COA parameters, and provide quantity, package and destination. Confirm the applicable storage period; the historical reference states 10 months.

Start with your application

Metal and corrosion-control review

Identify the metals, water chemistry and corrosion problem. Include the complete formulation and the evaluation method used to assess the selected HPAA grade.

Oilfield and industrial-water formulations

Describe the actual water system and other treatment components. The manufacturer discusses zinc-containing and low-molecular-weight polymer formulations; their suitability depends on the complete treatment system.

Ingredient compatibility

State the zinc salt or polymer identity, concentration and compatibility tests planned for the formulation. A familiar ingredient combination is not a finished treatment specification.

Request the documents for your grade

Use the TDS for product review, the SDS for handling and regulatory review, and a relevant COA for batch-level checks.

HPAA buying questions

Is HPAA a polymer dispersant?

HPAA is an organic phosphonate, identified here as 2-hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid. It may be used with low-molecular-weight polymers in a formulation, but that does not make HPAA itself a polymer or establish interchangeability with a polymer product.

What does the 50.0% reference value measure?

It is a minimum solids-content value. The source does not label it as active acid. Use the current TDS and agreed test method to compare the selected HPAA grade with your purchasing specification.

Is HPAA a complete corrosion-treatment program?

This entry describes a formulation component. The manufacturer discusses use with zinc salts or low-molecular-weight polymers. Product selection requires the metals, water chemistry, other ingredients and application-test results for your system.

Which impurity limits should my document request include?

The reference table reports phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid and iron. Identify which limits and methods your team requires, together with solids, pH and density. Request a current grade-specific TDS and specify the parameters expected on the shipment COA.
