Eastman® Hydroquinone For Water Treatment

HOW CAN EASTMAN® HYDROQUINONE IMPROVE THE LIFE OF YOUR WATER SYSTEM?

• Hydroquinone is extremely effective at reducing corrosion in water treatment applications when acting as a catalyst with hydrazine, DEHA, and Carbohydrazide.
   

• Hydroquinone is effective as a stand-alone oxygen scavenger, and has a lower toxicity and is less hazardous than other common alternatives. 
   

• Hydroquinone provides protective passive oxides with iron and copper.
   

• Hydroquinone does not degrade to ammonia, making hydroquinone safe for use with copper-containing alloys.
   

• Hydroquinone has a unique ability to react quickly against oxygen, even at ambient temperatures. Other alternatives, such as hydrazine, react slowly, particularly at lower temperatures, resulting in handling problems and ammonia formation with copper bearing alloys.
