EDTA

 

Disodium EDTA (2Na) & Tetrasodium EDTA (4Na) – Chelating Agents

 
 

EDTA chelates magnesium and calcium found in hard water, preventing these substances from interfering with the cleansing effect of soap on the skin. It is also used in mouthwashes, cosmetics, and other common topical preparations for skin use.

 

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a popular chelating agent used in foods, as a drug in chelation therapy, and in many household products.

EDTA SUPPLIER FOR COSMETIC, DETERGENT & INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURERS
 

ACTA Chemicals supplies EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) derivatives, including Disodium EDTA (EDTA 2Na) and Tetrasodium EDTA (EDTA 4Na), for cosmetic, detergent, cleaning, and industrial formulations.
 

EDTA derivatives are widely used as chelating agents and metal ion sequestrants. They bind metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, helping reduce their unwanted effects on product performance and formulation stability.
 

As an EDTA supplier, ACTA Chemicals supports manufacturers sourcing chelating ingredients for shampoos, liquid soaps, skincare products, household cleaners, and industrial cleaning formulations.
 

Disodium EDTA and Tetrasodium EDTA belong to the same chemical family but have different chemical identities and formulation characteristics.
 

Selecting the appropriate EDTA grade depends on the intended application, formulation pH, processing conditions, and technical requirements.
 

EDTA 2Na & EDTA 4Na – PRODUCT INFORMATION
 

ACTA Chemicals supplies EDTA sodium salts for manufacturers of cosmetic products, cleaning agents, and personal care formulations.
 

These materials are available in powder form and are used in applications requiring metal ion control and formulation stability.

EDTA 2Na – DISODIUM EDTA
 

EDTA 2Na (Disodium EDTA) is a sodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid used as a chelating agent in cosmetic, personal care, and cleaning formulations.
 

EDTA 2Na – PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
 

  • Product Form: Powder

  • Trade Name: EDTA 2Na

  • International Name: Disodium EDTA

  • Main Application Categories: Manufacturing of cosmetic products, cleaning products, and personal care products
     

Disodium EDTA is used in formulations where metal ion control is important for maintaining product quality and stability.

It helps bind trace metal ions that may otherwise affect the appearance, stability, or performance of cosmetic and cleaning products.
 

Common applications include shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, creams, lotions, and selected cleaning formulations.
 

EDTA 4Na – TETRASODIUM EDTA
 

EDTA 4Na (Tetrasodium EDTA) is a chelating agent used in cosmetic, detergent, cleaning, and industrial formulations.

The product described below is the tetrahydrate form of Tetrasodium EDTA.
 

EDTA 4Na – PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
 

  • Product Form: Powder

  • Trade Name: EDTA 4Na

  • Chemical Name: Tetrasodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate Tetrahydrate

  • EC Number: 603-569-9

  • CAS Number: 13235-36-4

  • Molecular Formula: C10H16N2O8·4H2O·4Na

  • Main Application Categories: Manufacturing of cosmetic products, cleaning products, and personal care products
     

Tetrasodium EDTA functions as a chelating and sequestering agent, helping bind metal ions in water-based formulations.
 

It is particularly relevant to manufacturers developing detergents, household cleaning products, personal care products, and compatible industrial cleaning formulations.
 

EDTA 4Na – ALTERNATIVE NAMES
 

  • Glycine, N,N'-1,2-ethanediylbis[N-(carboxymethyl)-, tetrasodium salt, tetrahydrate

  • Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid, tetrasodium salt, tetrahydrate

  • Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, tetrasodium salt, tetrahydrate

  • Tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate tetrahydrate

  • Sequestrene 220

  • Tetrasodium edetate tetrahydrate

  • Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium salt

DISODIUM EDTA & TETRASODIUM EDTA FOR COSMETIC AND CLEANING FORMULATIONS
 

Disodium EDTA (EDTA 2Na) and Tetrasodium EDTA (EDTA 4Na) are chelating ingredients used to control the effects of dissolved metal ions in cosmetic, personal care, and cleaning formulations.
 

DISODIUM EDTA FOR COSMETIC & PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
 

Disodium EDTA is commonly used in cosmetic and personal care formulations, including shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, creams, and lotions.
 

Its chelating properties help bind trace metal ions that may negatively affect formulation stability, appearance, or product performance.
 

Disodium EDTA is particularly relevant for manufacturers developing personal care products where metal ion control is required.
 

TETRASODIUM EDTA FOR DETERGENT & CLEANING PRODUCTS
 

Tetrasodium EDTA is used in cosmetic, detergent, household cleaning, and industrial formulations.

It acts as a chelating and sequestering agent, helping control calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions in water-based systems.

Tetrasodium EDTA is frequently considered for alkaline cleaning formulations and other applications where its chemical characteristics are suitable.

 

SELECTING THE RIGHT EDTA GRADE
 

For manufacturers sourcing EDTA raw materials, important considerations include:
 

  • Chemical identity and CAS number

  • Disodium or tetrasodium salt form

  • Hydration state and purity

  • Formulation pH

  • Water hardness and metal ion content

  • Compatibility with other formulation ingredients
     

EDTA 2Na and EDTA 4Na are different chemical substances and should not be treated as interchangeable without formulation evaluation.
