What is EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid)?
EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) is a versatile chelating agent widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, water treatment, detergents, and industrial applications. Also known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA can bind and stabilize metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper.
By controlling trace metal ions, EDTA helps improve product stability, prevent oxidation, maintain appearance, and extend shelf life. Its strong metal-chelating properties make EDTA an important functional ingredient for many formulations and industrial processes.
EDTA is available in several forms, including EDTA acid, Disodium EDTA, Disodium EDTA Dihydrate, Tetrasodium EDTA, and other EDTA salts, allowing users to select the appropriate grade according to pH, solubility, and application requirements.
