FDA  

Storage and Handling


Alco Chemical’s line of AQUATREAT®, VERSAFLEX®, NARLEX® and VERSA-TL® polymers demonstrate exceptional ability to provide scale and deposit control in a wide range of industrial water treatment applications. Cooling Towers, Boilers, Pulp Digesters, and Reverse Osmosis are just a few of the applications where Alco’s polymers are utilized.

Unique compositions incorporate acrylic, maleic, non-ionic, and sulfonated monomers in addition to proprietary polymerization technologies to achieve unequaled performance for targeted applications.

VERSAFLEX® Products have been uniquely developed to provide performance in extreme service conditions. VERSAFLEX products maintain stability and functionality in today’s most severe water conditions.

Alco’s VERSA-TL® sulfonated polymers deliver unmatched functionality and thermal stability in boiler applications. VERSA-TL sulfonated polymers have a proven record of exceptional performance for the control of iron in boilers.
