inhibiteur de tartre
Antiscalants: they are surface active materials that interfere with precipitation reactions in three primary ways:
Threshold inhibition: it is the ability of an antisclant to keep supersaturated solutions of springly soluble salts.

English[edit]
Noun[edit]
antiscalant (plural antiscalants)
(chemistry) Material preventing or slowing scaling of a surface. [quotations ▲]
2001, Siobhán Francesca E. Boerlage, Scaling and Particulate Fouling in Membrane Filtration Systems, page 15
Antiscalants inhibit scaling by one or more of the following mechanisms:
--- threshold effect which keeps scalant ions in solution,
--- crystal distortion by absorbing onto the crystal surface at active sites preventing further growth, and finally
--- by dispersancy where a surface charge is added onto the crystals so that they repel one another, reducing their ability to adhere to each other and equipment surfaces, hence, they remain in solution.
