Product Details
Ethylenediaminetetramaleic-anhydride.html">material/acetic-acid.html">acetic acid (EDTA) CAS#60-00-4 is a widely used chelating agent that forms stable, soluble complexes with nearly all divalent and trivalent metal ions. It binds strongly to metal cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and lead, making it indispensable in water treatment, textile processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial cleaning. It is slightly soluble in water and soluble in alkaline solutions, and is stable under ordinary conditions.

Product Application Of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid CAS#60-00-4
EDTA is extensively used to sequester metal ions in aqueous systems. It prevents metal-catalyzed degradation of products, reduces water hardness, stabilizes cosmetics and personal care items, improves dyeing processes in textiles, and acts as a anticoagulant in clinical applications. It also serves in cleaning products, photography, food preservation, and chemical synthesis.
