FAQ
Key Differences:
- Chemical FormEDTA-4NH₄ is a tetraammonium salt, EDTA-4Na is a tetrasodium salt
- pH ValueEDTA-4NH₄ is weakly alkaline (pH 8.5-9.5), EDTA-4Na is strongly alkaline (pH 11.0-12.0)
- ContentEDTA-4NH₄ content ≥ 50%, EDTA-4Na content ≥ 39%
- ApplicationEDTA-4NH₄ is more suitable for applications requiring a mild alkaline environment
EDTA-4NH₄ solution offers the following advantages:
- Ready-to-UseNo dissolving needed, use directly to save time and equipment
- Good CompatibilityLiquid form facilitates easy mixing with other liquid products
- Precise MeasurementEasy to accurately measure and control dosage
- Dust ReductionAvoids dust issues in solid powder operations
