User Guide

Dissolution Method

EDTA is insoluble in cold water but soluble in sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and ammonia solutions. It is typically mixed with an appropriate amount of alkali (such as sodium hydroxide) to form EDTA salts (e.g., EDTA-2Na or EDTA-4Na) before use, making it more soluble in water.

Common Application Ratios

Applications Recommended Dosage Instructions
Water Treatment 10-100 mg/L Adjust dosage according to water hardness
Cleaning Products 0.5-5% Use with surfactants
Textile Printing & Dyeing 0.5-2 g/L Removes metal ions, improves dyeing results

Usage Suggestions

  • Neutralize with alkaline substances (such as sodium hydroxide) to form water-soluble salts before use.
  • Heating accelerates dissolution; it is recommended to operate in hot water at 60–80°C.
  • Adjust dosage based on specific application and water quality
  • Wear protective gloves during operation and avoid prolonged skin contact.

Applications

Pulp and paper production

Improves bleaching effect, maintains paper brightness, and enhances product quality.

Cleaning Products

Mainly used for descaling, it is an important ingredient in detergents and cleaning agents.

Chemical Processing

Used in polymer stabilization and oil production industries.

Fertilizer & Agriculture

Used as a chelating agent in water-soluble fertilizers such as foliar and fertigation fertilizers.

Water Treatment

Controls water hardness and prevents scaling, an important additive for industrial circulating water treatment.

Textiles

Used in textile dyeing and finishing to remove metal ions and improve dyeing results.

Storage and transport precautions
  • Store in a dry and ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight.
  • Stack lightly to prevent package damage
  • Protect from moisture and rain during transport
  • Avoid mixing with strong oxidizers

FAQ

Chelation value refers to the milligrams of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) that 1 gram of EDTA can chelate, in mg CaCO₃/g. This product has a chelation value ≥339, indicating strong metal ion chelation ability.

EDTA is insoluble in cold water but soluble in sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and ammonia solutions. It is typically mixed with an appropriate amount of alkali (such as sodium hydroxide) to form EDTA salts (e.g., EDTA-2Na or EDTA-4Na) before use, making it more soluble in water.

Store in a dry, ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight, handle with care.
