Threshold Inhibitor Performs

A threshold inhibitor just increases the oversaturation line, normally three to four times its original value. So, even heated the water still remains behind oversaturation limits and precipitation is avoided.

Enlarging the area of the supersaturated liquid, allows the water to keep in solution higher amounts of substance.

But if the capability of the threshold inhibitor will be overpassed, massive deposition will occur, and the concentration will drop at the same point, like in the untreated liquid.

Actually, if capabilities of T.I. have been overpassed, the water IGNORES its presence, and precipitation performs like to an untreated system.
