Oxygen scavengers are chemicals used in water treatment to remove dissolved oxygen, preventing corrosion in boilers and pipelines. They react with oxygen to form non-corrosive compounds, enhancing system longevity. Common examples include sulfite-based and hydrazine-based scavengers.

Size: Typically available in granular or pellet form, ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm in diameter.

Grade: Industrial grade, food grade, or pharmaceutical grade depending on application.

Viscosity: Not applicable for solid forms; liquid variants may have viscosities of 1-10 cP.

Buoyancy: Generally non-buoyant in water due to density >1 g/cm³.

Material: Common materials include sodium sulfite, ascorbic acid, or iron-based compounds.

Solubility: Highly soluble in water, with dissolution rates varying by formulation.

pH Range: Effective in pH ranges of 6-10, depending on the scavenger type.

Operating Temperature: Typically stable up to 80°C (176°F).

Oxygen Removal Capacity: Varies by product, often 1-10 mg O₂ per gram of scavenger.

Packaging: Available in bulk bags, drums, or small sachets for specific applications.
