EDTA Disodium Salt is also known as Disodium Edetate or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt. It is a synthetic chelating agent and hexadentate ligand that forms stable, water-soluble complexes with metal ions including calcium, magnesium and iron. Its structure contains four carboxylate groups and two amine groups that allow it to effectively bind polyvalent metal ions and prevent unwanted metal-catalyzed reactions. It is widely used in chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textile processing, agriculture and water treatment.

EDTA disodium salt is a versatile chelating agent used to bind metal ions. It is commonly used in chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, molecular biology, biochemistry and water treatment.
EDTA disodium salt can remove heavy metals by binding to them through a process called chelation to form stable and water-soluble complexes. This chelating property is useful in industrial processes and under medical supervision in the treatment of specific heavy metal poisoning cases.
EDTA disodium salt is a synthetic chelating agent and hexadentate ligand. It is a partially neutralized, highly water-soluble form of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, while EDTA is the free acid form and is largely insoluble in water. They differ primarily in water solubility and solution pH which makes EDTA disodium salt the preferred form for laboratory, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial applications.
EDTA disodium salt is considered safe when used at approved concentrations in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and laboratory applications. But the concentrated forms should be handled according to recommended safety guidelines.Â
