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
