To emphasize our commitment to the phosphate and polymer product lines, Carus Phosphates, Inc. was created as a subsidiary of Carus Corporation. Carus Phosphates, Inc. boasts new state-of-the-art production facilities in Belmont, NC (2000) and LaSalle, IL (2002). Carus Phosphates, Inc. uses only the highest quality raw materials and manufactures end products utilizing advanced production techniques including reverse osmosis systems for ultra pure process water and computerized scada systems for accuracy in formulating and blending products. We own and maintain a fleet of dedicated tankers used exclusively to serve our customer needs. This provides for timely delivery and assures product quality and security in the highly sensitive drinking water industry. All Carus phosphates products meet ANSI/NSF Standard 60 guidelines.

These phosphates are the salts of various phosphoric acids. They are widely used in water treatment and industrial formulations because of their superior ability to soften water, control scale and corrosion, and sequester iron and manganese.

Orthophosphates are the most natural form of phosphate and are used to prevent corrosion of metals inside the water mains.

Polyphosphate ingredients in formulations generally provide scale control and the sequestering of minerals.

Blended phosphates use the ortho and poly forms of phosphate to produce products capable of corrosion control and sequestering and tend to be more stable than many single ingredient formulations. By blending various ortho and polyphosphate ingredients, it is possible to achieve a synergistic effect that produces better performance and stability over single ingredient formulations.

Carus Phosphates, Inc.’s customers are serviced by a team of field sales representatives with a minimum of 10 years’ experience in developing sequestering and corrosion control programs. In addition, the in-house customer service and technical support group include individuals with backgrounds and credentials including PhD’s, engineers, and certified operators.
