Tetrasodium EDTA Liquid

Liquid EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) is a chelating agent commonly used in various industries and applications. It binds with metal ions, forming stable, water-soluble complexes, making it valuable in processes where metal ion control is essential.

Key Properties

• Chemical Formula: C10H16N2O8C_{10}H_{16}N_2O_8C10​H16​N2​O8​

• Physical Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid.

• Solubility: Fully soluble in water.

• pH Range: Typically slightly acidic to neutral (around 4-7, depending on concentration).

• Common Applications:

Industrial

• Water Treatment: Removes heavy metals, preventing scale and deposits.

• Cleaning Agents: Used in detergents and cleaning products to improve efficiency by binding metal ions like calcium and magnesium.

Pharmaceutical : Preservative in medical formulations and laboratory samples.

Agriculture: As a micronutrient carrier, delivering essential metals like iron, zinc, and manganese to plants.

Cosmetics: Stabilizes formulations and enhances shelf life by preventing metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Food Industry: Approved for use as a food additive (e.g., sequestrant in canned goods) in certain regulations.
