This mixture of aliphatic amine surfactants is an anti-fouling material that acts as a corrosion inhibitor and scale dispersant as well as having activity against freshwater and saltwater mussels and barnacles (Giamberini, Czembor, and Pihan 1994; Krueser, Vanlaer, and Damour 1997). It adsorbs to exposed surfaces and forms a protective anti-fouling film on internal components when present in circulating water. Once the material is adsorbed to a surface, it remains in place until it degrades, and this minimizes its presence in outfall.
