Disodium EDTA
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Disodium EDTA is a highly versatile chelating agent primarily used to maintain product clarity and stability by sequestering metal impurities. This Food/Cosmetic Grade crystalline powder is highly effective in slightly acidic to neutral pH environments.
It functions as a critical preservative synergist, enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial agents by destabilizing bacterial cell walls. The purity levels exceeding 99% ensure it meets the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical and high-end skincare formulations.
As a Specialty Chemical, it prevents the oxidative degradation caused by trace metals, thereby protecting color, fragrance, and active ingredients. It is prized for its excellent water solubility and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic emulsifiers and thickeners.
