Request TOC of this Report- https://www.factmr.com/connectus/sample?flag=T&rep_id=2953 Polyepoxysuccinic Acid is a corrosion inhibitor and multivariate scale with non-nitrogen, and non-phosphor, it has right dispersion and scale inhibition for calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, silica scale, and calcium fluoride. Besides, Polyepoxysuccinic Acid has better effects than that of organophosphines.
The protective effects of fluoride products applied topically is mainly due to the formation of a Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) like layer on the tooth surfaces which act as a reservoir of fluoride ions.

The calcium preparation is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, calcium chloride, calcium lactate, calcium gluconate, whey calcium, organic acid calcium, colloidal calcium carbonate, casein phosphopeptide calcium and calcium fluoride.
Calcium fluoride (CaF2), generated as a result of the capture of fluorine, can be recycled as synthetic fluorite.
The low pH of the product has the function of providing calcium ions for the interaction with the fluoride ions applied and reducing the amount of HP[O.sub.4.sup.-2], which inhibits the deposition of calcium fluoride [Lagerlof et al., 1988; Alves et al., 2007].
