Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) Usage
-
Industrial Water Treatment & Detergents:
-
Water Softening & Scale Control: Binds hardness ion in industrial boiler water, cooling systems, and cleaning formulations to prevent mineral scaling.
-
Detergent Builder: Added to liquid and powder detergents to deactivate metal ions, preventing soap scum formation and boosting surfactant performance.
-
-
Textile, Paper & Electroplating:
-
Textile Bleaching & Dyeing: Prevents trace metal ions from catalyzing peroxide decomposition during fabric bleaching, preventing fabric damage and color spots.
-
Electroless Plating & Metal Cleaning: Serves as a primary complexing agent in copper/nickel electroless plating and rust/scale removal baths.
-
-
Agrochemical Micronutrients & Polymers:
-
Micronutrient Chelates Raw Material: Reaction precursor used to manufacture water-soluble chelated trace elements (EDTA-Fe, EDTA-Zn, EDTA-Cu, EDTA-Mn) for agricultural fertilizers.
-
Polymerization Catalyst Component: Used as a coordination component in the redox initiator system for styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) emulsion polymerization.
