Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) is a synthetic amino polycarboxylic acid, widely used as a chelating agent in various industries. It is a clear, odourless liquid with a slightly acidic taste. EDTA is highly soluble in water.

Chelating Properties: EDTA has the ability to form stable complexes with metal ions, particularly calcium, magnesium, and iron. This property makes it an effective agent for removing impurities, preventing oxidation, and stabilising formulations.
pH Stability: EDTA is stable over a wide pH range, making it suitable for use in various applications where pH fluctuations may occur.
Solubility: EDTA is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 0.5 g/mL at 20°C.
Thermal Stability: EDTA is stable up to 200°C, making it suitable for use in high-temperature applications.

Key Usages For Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid:

  • Food and Beverage Industry: Used as a food additive to prevent spoilage, improve texture, and enhance flavour. It is commonly used in canned goods, beverages, and dairy products.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations to improve stability, solubility, and bioavailability of active ingredients.
  • Cosmetic Industry: Used in personal care products, such as shampoos, conditioners, and skincare products, to improve product stability, prevent oxidation, and enhance skin feel.
  • Industrial Applications: Used in various industrial processes, including water treatment, textile manufacturing, and paper production, to remove impurities, prevent scaling, and improve product quality.
  • Laboratory Applications: Used as a chelating agent in laboratory settings to remove metal ions, stabilise enzymes, and improve analytical results.

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from flames. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on safe handling, storage, and disposal of the product.
