EDTA

Panoramica

EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a proven, versatile aminopolycarboxylate chelating agent used to control metal ions, reduce the effects of hard water, prevent metal-catalyzed degradation, and improve formulation stability.

With strong and well-established chelation performance across a broad range of applications, EDTA is widely used in household and industrial cleaning, personal care, agriculture, water treatment, and industrial processing.

Available in multiple forms—including EDTA Acid, Disodium EDTA, and Tetrasodium EDTA—EDTA provides formulators with flexibility to select the appropriate salt form, solubility, and pH characteristics for their application.

EDTA is an aminopolycarboxylate chelating agent containing four carboxylate groups and two nitrogen atoms. It can coordinate with metal ions through multiple donor sites, producing highly stable metal-EDTA complexes.
