Frequent Uses

Water Treatment and Purification
Widely used in water treatment processes for its ability to bind metal ions such as calcium and magnesium, preventing scale formation and improving water quality. It is commonly used in both industrial water treatment and municipal water systems to soften water and prevent mineral build-up in pipes and machinery.

Detergents and Cleaning Products
In the formulation of detergents and cleaning products, it acts as a sequestrant, binding to metal ions that can interfere with cleaning performance. It is found in household cleaners, laundry detergents, and industrial cleaning formulations, where it helps to enhance the efficiency of detergents by preventing mineral build-up and water hardness.

Cosmetic and Personal Care
Used in cosmetic formulations as a stabiliser and preservative. It helps to maintain the effectiveness of the product by preventing the negative effects of metal ions, which can cause degradation or colour changes. It is used in a range of personal care products, including shampoos, lotions, and creams.

Laboratory and Research Applications
In laboratories, it is employed as a chelating agent in various chemical reactions and analytical procedures. It is used to remove metal ions from solutions, preventing interference in experiments, and ensuring accurate results in fields like biochemistry, molecular biology, and environmental science.

Industrial and Manufacturing Applications
Frequently used in industrial processes such as metal cleaning, textile manufacturing, and paper production. It helps to prevent the build-up of metal ions that can affect production efficiency and product quality, making it a crucial ingredient in many manufacturing operations.

Agricultural and Horticultural Applications
Used in agriculture and horticulture, it helps to prevent nutrient imbalances in plants by chelating essential metal ions like iron, which can be crucial for plant growth. It is often found in fertilisers and soil treatments to improve nutrient availability and promote healthier plant development.
