Dow Acumer™ · Certified distributor & repackager
ACUMER™ scale inhibitors & dispersants.
Mid South Chemical is a certified Dow distributor and repackager of the ACUMER™ polymer line — stocked and packaged for water treatment programs that need proven scale and deposit control.
Why buy Acumer through Mid South: certified Dow channel, Louisiana packaging and logistics, and a water-treatment team that helps match grade to system conditions — cooling, boiler, RO pretreatment support, and process applications.
Where these grades work
Same chemistry family, different jobs — pick by deposit challenge and system type.
Cooling water
Threshold inhibition, phosphate/zinc stabilization, and particulate dispersancy for open recirculating programs.
Boiler & sludge
Thermally stable polymers for scale control and iron/sludge dispersancy in steam systems.
Silica & specialty
Grades for silica/magnesium silicate, calcium sulfate, and sugar-process scale where food-contact clearance matters.

Grade details
Use notes for selection conversations — SDS and packaging available on request.
General-purpose scale inhibitor for calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, and other low-solubility salts.
High-performance scale inhibitor for sugar processing; FDA clearance for food-contact use.
Low molecular weight polyacrylate for general-purpose scale inhibition across a wide range of pH, hardness, and temperature.
Thermally stable polycarboxylate for general-purpose scale inhibition; effective sludge dispersant and scale control in boilers.
Phosphate and zinc stabilizer and dispersant of inorganic particulates for cooling water anti-scale/anti-corrosion programs.
Scale inhibitor and dispersant combining sulfonate and carboxylate for anti-scale/dispersant efficiency.
Phosphate and zinc stabilizer for stressed cooling systems; iron and sludge dispersant in boilers.
Scale inhibitor and dispersant with threshold inhibition and dispersancy; chlorine-resistant and compatible with most microbiological control agents.
High-performance inhibitor for calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate deposits; strong overall calcium-scale performance.
Scale inhibitor and dispersant for silica and magnesium silicate in recirculating cooling circuits and boilers.
