Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals 

  • Metal Chelating Agent in Formulations : Used to stabilize drug products by binding trace metal ions that can cause oxidation or degradation of active ingredients.
  • Ingredient in Eye Drops & Injectable Solutions : Added to sterile formulations to prevent precipitation of metal salts and enhance shelf-life and clarity.
  • Mineral Transport Enhancer : Helps improve the bioavailability of mineral-based drugs or supplements by preventing metal ion precipitation.

2.  Personal Care

  • Stabilizer in Skin & Hair Products : Binds hard water ions like calcium/magnesium to prevent product cloudiness, separation, or discoloration in creams, shampoos, and lotions.
  • Enhances Preservative Efficacy : Increases the effectiveness of preservatives like parabens or phenoxyethanol by reducing interference from trace metals.
  • Gentle Chelator for Sensitive Skin Products : Used in mild formulations due to its lower sodium content compared to EDTA tetrasodium, suitable for baby care or facial products.

3. Water Treatment

  • Chelating Agent for Hard Water Control : Binds calcium, magnesium, and iron ions to soften water in boilers, cooling systems, and industrial cleaning systems.
  • Scale Inhibition in Pipelines : Prevents scale formation by sequestering minerals that would otherwise deposit on pipes and machinery.

4. Cleaning & Disinfectants

  • Booster in Detergents & Cleaners : Enhances cleaning performance by removing hard water ions that reduce surfactant effectiveness.
  • Prevents Soap Scum Formation : In personal care and household products, EDTA Dipotassium prevents white film/residue, especially in high-calcium water areas.
