• Recommended storage temperature: 5-35°C
• Keep packaging sealed to prevent moisture absorption and caking

GLDA-4NA is a powerful chelating agent with excellent chelating ability for various metal ions:

• Calcium, Magnesium IonsEffectively softens water and prevents scale formation
• Iron IonEffectively chelates trivalent iron ions even under high pH conditions, preventing discoloration and precipitation
• Copper, Zinc IonsStable in detergent and personal care formulations.
• Manganese IonPrevents oxidation and discoloration

Its stability constant (log K) is approximately 13-14, providing excellent chelation for most divalent and trivalent metal ions.

GLDA-4NA solid dissolves easily in water with a simple method:

• Dissolution MethodSlowly add the solid to an appropriate amount of warm water while stirring to dissolve.
• Recommended concentrationUsually prepared as a 30-40% aqueous solution for use
• Dissolution RateDissolves relatively quickly at room temperature; moderate heating can speed up the process.
• PrecautionsSlight heat release may occur during dissolution, which is normal.

The solid form is easy to store and transport, and can be flexibly prepared into solutions of different concentrations as needed.

GLDA-4NA is a truly biodegradable chelating agent:

• Degradation rate28-day biodegradation rate >80%, compliant with OECD 302B standard
• Degradation MechanismFirst, it is broken down into glutamate and acetate intermediates under the action of enzymes.
• Final productCompletely mineralizes into carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen, leaving no harmful residues.
• Environmentally FriendlyNo long-term accumulation risk to soil and water bodies, does not affect microbial activity

GLDA-4NA exhibits excellent compatibility with a wide range of surfactants

• Anionic surfactantCompatible with LAS, AES, AOS, etc., with no negative interactions
• Nonionic surfactantSuch as alkoxylates, good synergistic effect
• Amphoteric surfactantStable Compatibility
• Cationic surfactantFormula design requires attention; pre-testing is recommended.

Compared to EDTA and NTA, GLDA-4NA does not form insoluble complexes with anionic surfactants, avoiding formula turbidity and performance degradation.

This product is a white powder; slight discoloration may be due to the following reasons:

• Storage ConditionsProlonged exposure to air may cause slight oxidation and color change
• Temperature effectHigh temperature storage may cause slight color darkening
• Moisture Absorption FactorMoisture absorption may affect appearance but not quality.

Slight color change does not affect performance. In laundry and cleaning formulations, the typical dosage is 0.5-2%, without affecting the final product's appearance.

GLDA-4NA itself is non-corrosive to metals, but precautions should be taken during use:

• Storage containerPE, PP, and stainless steel 304/316 containers are recommended; avoid carbon steel and aluminum
• Delivery SystemUse stainless steel, plastic, or pipes lined with anti-corrosion coating.
• Compatibility NotesAvoid direct mixing with strong acids to prevent corrosion from localized low pH
• Cleaning RecommendationsRinse the equipment with clean water after use to prevent residual solution concentration.

At normal usage concentrations (0.5-2%), GLDA-4NA is safe for materials such as stainless steel and plastics.
