Application recommendations

Recommended dosage

Applications Recommended dosage Description
Industrial detergents 5-20% Adjust according to purity requirements and formulation
Metal Surface Treatment 1-10% For removal of metal ion contaminants
Water Treatment 10-50 mg/L Adjust according to water hardness
Textile printing and dyeing 0.5-2% Chelation of metal ions to improve coloring quality

Application recommendations

  • Shake well before use to ensure solution uniformity
  • Compatible with most detergent components, but a preliminary compatibility test is recommended.
  • Avoid direct mixing with strongly acidic substances to prevent reduction of chelating effect.
  • Recommended storage temperature 5–35°C, avoid freezing and high temperatures.
Safety Precautions
  • The specific dosage should be adjusted according to formulation requirements, target crop, and local regulations.
  • Recommended to conduct a trial test before large-scale application
  • When mixing with other chemicals, conduct a compatibility test first.

Frequently asked questions

Key differences:

  • Chemical FormEDTA-4NH₄ is the tetraammonium salt, EDTA-4Na is the tetrasodium salt.
  • pH valueEDTA-4NH₄ has a weakly alkaline reaction (pH 8.5-9.5), EDTA-4Na has a strongly alkaline reaction (pH 11.0-12.0).
  • ContentEDTA-4NH₄ content ≥50%, EDTA-4Na content ≥39%
  • ApplicationEDTA-4NH₄ is more suitable for applications requiring a slightly alkaline environment.

EDTA-4NH₄ solution has the following advantages:

  • Ready to UseNo need for dissolution, ready to use, saves time and equipment
  • Good CompatibilityLiquid form convenient for mixing with other liquid products.
  • Precise calculationEasy to precisely dose and control the amount of additive
  • Dust ReductionAvoids dust problems when handling solid powders
