Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA)

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA), also known as edetic acid, is a white, odorless crystalline powder widely used as a chelating agent in various industries. With the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₆O₈N₂ and a molecular weight of 292.25, EDTA binds to metal ions such as Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ and Ca²⁺, forming water-soluble complexes even at neutral pH. This property makes it essential in dissolving metal-containing scales and delivering iron ions in chemical processing, agriculture, water treatment, and hydroponics. In the pulp and paper industry, EDTA inhibits metal ions, especially Mn²⁺, from degrading hydrogen peroxide during bleaching. It also stabilizes colors in textiles by preventing metal ion impurities from altering dyed products. EDTA serves as an anticoagulant in blood analysis, preserving samples by chelating calcium ions. In personal care products like shampoos and cleaners, EDTA salts improve stability by sequestering metal ions. Additionally, EDTA acts as a preservative in foods, preventing catalytic oxidative discoloration caused by metal ions. Its versatility makes it indispensable in industrial, agricultural, and consumer applications.

Key Features

• White, odorless crystalline powder with >99.5% purity
• Binds metal ions to prevent discoloration and degradation
• Essential for water treatment and hydroponic systems
• Used in the pulp and paper industry for bleaching stabilization
• Improves color stability in textiles and dyed products
• Preserves blood samples and enhances personal care product stability

Sorbic Acid 99%, FCC, Kosher

Sorbic Acid is a white crystalline powder with a slightly acidic taste, widely used as a preservative in the food and cosmetics industries. With its ability to inhibit the growth of molds, yeasts, and fungi, Sorbic Acid is commonly utilized in baked goods, cheeses, wine, and low-moisture foods. It is favored for its safety, efficacy, and organoleptic neutrality, ensuring no impact on the flavor or aroma of preserved products. Approved by the FDA as "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS), Sorbic Acid can be used as a chemical preservative following good manufacturing practices. Its physical properties include a molar mass of 112.128 g/mol, a density of 1.204 g/cm³, and a melting point of 135°C (275°F). Sorbic Acid is slightly soluble in water (1.6 g/L at 20°C) and has a pKa of 4.76 at 25°C, enhancing its preservative function in acidic environments.

Key Features

• 99% pure FCC and Kosher grade Sorbic Acid
• Prevents growth of molds, yeasts, and fungi
• Ideal for preserving baked goods, cheese, and wine
• FDA-approved as GRAS for food safety
• Neutral taste and odor with high efficacy in acidic environments
• Applications in food, cosmetics, and beverages
