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
Trilium (EDTA)
Primary Uses
- Water Treatment
- Sequesters calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions to prevent scale formation and improve water quality in boilers, cooling towers, and industrial systems.
- Detergents and Cleaners
- Enhances cleaning efficiency by binding hard water ions, preventing soap scum and improving stain removal in household and industrial detergents.
- Cosmetics and Personal Care
- Acts as a stabilizer by chelating trace metals that can degrade formulations, thus extending shelf life of creams, lotions, shampoos, and bath products.
- Pharmaceuticals
- Used as a stabilizer and preservative enhancer in ophthalmic solutions, injectables, and other medicinal formulations requiring metal ion control.
Secondary Uses
- Agriculture
- Serves as a micronutrient chelator to improve bioavailability of trace metals in fertilizers and foliar sprays.
