Mineral scale, often entrained in a waterborne phase, causes sticking of parts, seal cutting and often a partial to total blockage of the flowstream. The initial scale nucleation on metal leads to crystalline growth. These scale deposits, due to high surface affinity, are frequently tightly bonded and difficult to remove.  Pressure drops in the flowstream accentuate scale precipitation.

MagIon prevents scale buildup through a proprietary "hydrophobic" surface, which greatly reduces  water wettability. Scale particles have weak adhesion, and are swept away by the  flowstream or movement of contacting parts. In multiphase flowstreams, the MagIon "engineered surface" is oil wet, making scale formation virtually impossible.
