Chelating agents are water treatment chemicals that bind and neutralize metal ions (like calcium, magnesium, iron, and heavy metals) to prevent scaling, corrosion, and oxidation. By forming stable, water-soluble complexes, they improve water quality and protect industrial equipment. Common chelants include EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), citric acid, and phosphonates, used in boiler systems, cooling towers, and wastewater treatment. They enhance the efficiency of other treatment chemicals while reducing harmful deposits and metal-induced damage in pipelines and machinery.

Borax Decahydrate

Original price was: $ 3.00.Current price is: $ 2.14.
Borax Decahydrate, also known as sodium tetraborate decahydrate, is a naturally occurring mineral and an important inorganic compound. It appears as colorless or white crystalline granules or powder with a salty, alkaline taste. This compound is widely used in detergents, cosmetics, glass manufacturing, agriculture, and various industrial applications due to its excellent buffering, emulsifying, and antiseptic properties. The “decahydrate” indicates that each molecule of borax contains ten water molecules bound in its crystal structure, contributing to its crystalline appearance and physical properties.

Borax Pentahydrate

Original price was: $ 3.00.Current price is: $ 2.14.
Borax Pentahydrate (sodium tetraborate pentahydrate) is an inorganic compound and a hydrated form of borax. It typically appears as colorless to white crystalline granules or powder. This compound contains five molecules of water of crystallization per formula unit, distinguishing it from other borax hydrates such as the decahydrate form. Borax Pentahydrate is widely used across industries including detergents, glass production, agriculture, and cosmetics, valued for its buffering capacity, emulsification, and antiseptic properties. It is soluble in water and exhibits alkaline properties in aqueous solution.

Citric Acid Monohydrate

Original price was: $ 3.00.Current price is: $ 2.12.
Citric Acid Monohydrate is a white, crystalline powder or granule form of citric acid containing one molecule of water per molecule of acid. It is a natural organic acid commonly derived from citrus fruits or produced by fermentation processes. Citric Acid Monohydrate is widely used as an acidulant, preservative, and chelating agent in various industries. Compared to the anhydrous form, it has a slightly lower acid concentration due to the water molecule but offers excellent solubility and stability. It is prized for its sour flavor, buffering capacity, and ability to bind metal ions, making it indispensable in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.

Sodium Hexametaphosphate Food Grade

Original price was: $ 2.50.Current price is: $ 2.44.
Sodium Hexametaphosphate Food Grade is a white, granular or powdery inorganic compound composed of sodium and metaphosphoric acid polymers. It is highly soluble in water and acts as an effective sequestrant, dispersing agent, and water softener. SHMP is widely used across various industries including food processing, water treatment, detergents, ceramics, and metallurgy. It helps control hardness, prevent scale formation, and stabilize formulations, making it valuable in both industrial and consumer applications.
