What is EDTA Disodium?
EDTA Disodium (Disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate) is the disodium salt of EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid), a powerful chelating agent capable of binding and sequestering metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper. It is a white crystalline powder that, due to having two of its four carboxylic acid groups already neutralised as sodium salts, has a lower pH and different solubility profile compared to the tetrasodium form, making it suited to specific applications requiring this particular degree of neutralisation.
Polychem Industries supplies EDTA Disodium to cosmetic formulators, cleaning product manufacturers, water treatment companies, and textile processors across India and internationally. Its chelating capability helps stabilise formulations against trace metal contamination, prevent metal-catalysed degradation, and improve the performance of various industrial and consumer products.
Available Grades
| Grade | Form | Purity | Standard | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial / Cosmetic Grade | White crystalline powder | 99%+ (Industrial / Cosmetic Grade) | Industrial / Cosmetic | Cosmetics, cleaning products, water treatment, textile processing |
Applications & Uses
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a chelating agent to bind trace metal ions that could otherwise catalyse oxidative degradation of the formulation, helping preserve product stability, colour, and fragrance over the product shelf life.
Cleaning Products & Detergents
Used in liquid detergents and cleaning formulations to sequester calcium and magnesium hardness ions, improving surfactant efficiency and preventing scale deposition on cleaned surfaces.
Water Treatment
Used in industrial water treatment applications to chelate metal ions and prevent scale formation and metal-catalysed corrosion in water systems, boilers, and cooling towers.
Textile Processing
Used in textile dyeing and finishing processes to chelate metal ions present in process water or raw materials that could otherwise interfere with dye uptake and cause unwanted shade variations.
Industrial Chemical Processing
Used as a chelating agent in various industrial chemical processes where metal ion sequestration is required to prevent unwanted catalytic reactions or precipitation.
Metal Surface Treatment
Used in certain metal cleaning and surface preparation formulations, helping remove metal oxide deposits and prepare surfaces for subsequent coating or treatment processes.
