Chelating Agents and Sequesterants

Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid or EDTA Acid serves as an amino-poly carboxylic acid. EDTA is a colourless to whitish powder that is readily water-soluble. EDTA Acid is widely used for dissolving lime scale deposits or as a chelating agent i.e., its ability to "sequester" the metal ions such as Calcium and Ferric. 

In industrial applications, EDTA Acid is mainly used for carrying out the sequestering of metal ions in aqueous solution. In the textile industry, it aids in the prevention of metal ion impurities from modifying colors of dyed products. EDTA Acid is added as a preservative to some food or as a stabilizer to prevent catalytic oxidative decoloration, which is catalyzed by metal ions. In the pulp and paper industry, EDTA inhibits the ability of metal ions, especially Mn2+, from catalyzing the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide, which is used in "chlorine-free bleaching."

EDTA Powder (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) serves as a chelating agent that aids in binding divalent metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. EDTA can be used for preventing the degradation of DNA and RNA and to inactivate nucleases that require metal ions. EDTA Powder can also be used to inactivate metal ion requiring enzymes. This is a powder formulation for preparing EDTA solution. 

Key Features and Benefits:

• Acts as an effective chelating agent
• It helps in the prevention of metal ion impurities 

Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid salts or EDTA Salts are amino-poly carboxylic acid salts. EDTA is a colourless to whitish powder that is readily water-soluble. EDTA Salts are widely used for dissolving lime scale deposits or as a chelating agent that is its ability to "sequester" the metal ions such as Calcium (Ca) and Ferric (Fe).

EDTA belongs to this category of chelants. Chelants, or chelating agents, can be used in food processing, agriculture, cleaners and detergents, textiles manufacturing/dyeing, pulp and paper manufacturing, and water treatment. EDTA Salts are typically available as aqueous solution for controlling / binding metal ions over a broad pH range in aqueous (water-based) systems.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Acts as an effective chelating agent
• It helps in the prevention of metal ion impurities

EDTA Trisodium Salt is manufactured as a solid form of EDTA salt with 3 parts of sodium anion. Ethylenediaminetetra acetic Acid Trisodium Salt serves as a divalent cation chelator that is used in some electrophoresis buffer systems. 

EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) Trisodium Salt acts as a chelating agent, a general chemical, and a sequestrant. In molecular biology applications, it helps in minimizing metal ion contaminants. It is also used in facilitating enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces. It also aids in the inhibition of enzymes, such as metallo proteases, that require divalent cations for activity.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Long Shelf Life
• Precise pH value
• Accurate Composition
• Purity

The Water Softening Chemicals are mostly used for removing calcium, magnesium and certain other metal cations existing in hard water to transform it into soft water. The chemical industries require softening the water as it is more suitable with soap and extends the durability of pipelines. The products which we cater for water softening chemicals are Organo phosphate, Chelants, Sequestrant etc. 

Chemtex uses lime and ion exchange resins in formulating this entire range of water softening chemicals. The unmatched features of these chemicals are excellent water softener, removal of metal cations, specific pH value and durable shelf life. This chemical is utilized in waste water treatment, sewage treatment, ETP, mineral water treatment processes. It must be stored in chemical storage tanks as it is hazardous

ATMP or Amino Trimethyl Phosphonic Acid is a phosphonate that finds its widest application in water treatment. ATMP are available in salts of sodium compounds such as ATMP 2Na (Amino Trimethyl Phosphonic Acid - Disodium salt), ATMP 4Na (Amino Trimethyl Phosphonic Acid - Tetra sodium salt) etc.

ATMP 4Na, offered by Chemtex Speciality Limited, exhibits properties such as lattice distortion, low threshold inhibition and exceptional chelation. This acid aids in the prevention of formation of calcium carbonate in water system. It accounts for excellent chemical stability, best corrosion inhibition and is difficult to hydrolyze in water systems. ATMP 4Na can be used in oilfield water pipeline in thermal power plant & oil refinery and in industry for circulating cool water system. 

Key Features and Benefits:

• Effectively used as a scale inhibitor in water treatment
• These also serve as an effective substance in detergent and cleaning applications
• It exhibits excellent chemical stability
