How is Tetrasodium EDTA produced?
Tetrasodium EDTA is produced by neutralizing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) with sodium hydroxide to form the tetrasodium salt. This process results in a highly soluble, stable, and easily processable chelating agent suitable for a wide range of applications.
Function of EDTA Tetrasodium salt
In cosmetics, Tetrasodium EDTA acts as a chelating agent: it binds calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions that would otherwise reduce the effectiveness and stability of products such as shampoos, lotions, and detergents. As a result, formulations remain clear, stable, and effective. In industrial applications, EDTA Tetrasodium is used for water softening and to prevent unwanted precipitation.
