EDTA Acid
High-Purity Chelating Agent
₹225.00
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (commonly known as EDTA) is a synthetic aminopolycarboxylic acid widely used as a chelating agent. It works by firmly binding to metal ions (like calcium, iron, and lead) to form stable, water-soluble complexes. This prevents the metals from participating in unwanted chemical reactions.
Applications of EDTA Acid:
Cosmetics & Personal Care:
Preservation: EDTA Acid prevents metal-catalyzed oxidation to extend the shelf life and preserve the color/fragrance of creams and lotions.
Performance: EDTA Acid protects skincare and haircare formulas against hard water by neutralizing calcium and magnesium.
Food & Beverages:
Preservative & Antioxidant: EDTA Acid It is used to prevent rancidity in oils and salad dressings by sequestering trace metals.
Color Retention: It maintains the vibrant color and nutritional value of canned vegetables and processed foods over time.
Industrial & Laboratory Uses:
Water Softening: Sequesters calcium and magnesium in water treatment plants to prevent scale buildup.
Textiles & Paper: It prevents metal ions from interfering with textile dyeing, bleaching, and pulp processing.
Agriculture: It acts as a micronutrient carrier, helping plants absorb essential metals by preventing them from becoming insoluble.
