Product Introduction
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a widely used chelating agent with excellent metal ion complexing ability, particularly for divalent and trivalent metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper. It effectively controls hard water, metal ion precipitation, and improves stability and reaction efficiency.
In industrial and daily chemical applications, EDTA is a core ingredient in the manufacture of cleaning agents, water treatment chemicals, cosmetics, pharmaceutical preparations, and agricultural fertilizers. It is environmentally friendly, efficient, and widely used.
