Trilium (EDTA)
Whatsapp Order
Trilium EDTA is a high-purity, versatile chelating agent known chemically as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or its trisodium salt form. It is widely used across industries to bind and sequester metal ions, improving product stability and performance. Trilium EDTA effectively prevents metal ion contamination, controls hardness in water, enhances cleaning efficiency, and stabilizes formulations in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, and industrial applications. Its strong chelating properties make it an essential ingredient for complexation and metal ion control.
Description

Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is a highly porous, adsorptive material processed to have an exceptionally large surface area (typically 500-1500 m²/g) through thermal or chemical activation of carbon-rich source materials. This versatile adsorbent exists in powdered (PAC), granular (GAC), pelletized, and extruded forms, with pore structures specifically engineered for different applications ranging from water purification to gas treatment. Its extended surface area and complex pore network (micropores <2nm, mesopores 2-50nm, macropores >50nm) enable superior physical adsorption of contaminants through van der Waals forces, as well as chemical interactions with surface functional groups.
