Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid salts or EDTA Salts are amino-poly carboxylic acid salts. EDTA is a colourless to whitish powder that is readily water-soluble. EDTA Salts are widely used for dissolving lime scale deposits or as a chelating agent that is its ability to "sequester" the metal ions such as Calcium (Ca) and Ferric (Fe).
EDTA belongs to this category of chelants. Chelants, or chelating agents, can be used in food processing, agriculture, cleaners and detergents, textiles manufacturing/dyeing, pulp and paper manufacturing, and water treatment. EDTA Salts are typically available as aqueous solution for controlling / binding metal ions over a broad pH range in aqueous (water-based) systems.
Key Attributes and Benefits:
Acts as an effective chelating agent
It helps in the prevention of metal ion impurities
