EDTA-4Na – High Performance Alkaline Chelating Agent

Tetrasodium EDTA (EDTA-4Na) is the fully neutralized tetrasodium salt of EDTA with sodium hydroxide. It appears as a white crystalline powder, is readily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline. As a highly efficient metal ion chelator, it forms stable, water-soluble complexes with calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, lead, and other metal ions. It is widely used in household and industrial detergents, industrial cleaning, and water treatment.

Why Choose EDTA-4Na?

search
Performs Excellently in Strongly Alkaline Systems
Unlike EDTA-2Na, EDTA-4Na achieves maximum chelation efficiency at pH 10.5–11.5, making it ideal for laundry liquids, dishwashing detergents, and alkaline cleaners.
search
Extremely High Water Solubility & Dissolution Rate
EDTA-4Na has much higher water solubility than EDTA-2Na and dissolves quickly at room temperature, facilitating production batching and on-site use.
search
Highly Effective Chelation of Calcium, Magnesium & Heavy Metals
Each gram of EDTA-4Na chelates ≥220 mg CaCO₃ equivalent of hardness ions while effectively binding copper, iron, lead, and other heavy metals to prevent metal-catalyzed oxidation.
search
Prevents Soap Scum & Equipment Scaling
In hard water conditions, EDTA-4Na preferentially binds with calcium and magnesium, preventing anionic surfactants from forming insoluble soap scum while protecting pipes, boilers, and heat exchangers from scale buildup.

EDTA-4Na vs. EDTA-2Na: Key Differences

ComparisonEDTA-4Na (Tetrasodium)EDTA-2Na (Disodium)
pH (1%-liuos)Strongly alkaline (10.5–11.5)Weakly acidic / Near neutral (5–6)
Water SolubilityExtremely high, fast dissolutionGood, slightly lower than EDTA-4Na
Optimal Chelation EfficiencyAlkaline environmentsNeutral / weakly acidic environments
Suitable ApplicationsAlkaline formulations, high hardness water, high heavy metal contentNeutral / weakly acidic formulations (daily chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals)
Chelation CharacteristicsStrong, rapidly chelates Ca/Mg and multiple heavy metalsMild and stable, suitable for standard formulations

Main Application Areas

EDTA-4Na is widely used as a high-performance chelating agent and water softener across daily chemicals, industrial cleaning, and water treatment industries.

Daily Chemicals (Alkaline Detergents)

Laundry Liquid, Dish Soap, Industrial Cleaners

  • Acts as a detergent builder and water softener, chelating calcium and magnesium ions in hard water
  • Improves detergency and foamability

  • Prevents soap scum formation and avoids oxidation of active ingredients

Alkaline Personal Care Products

  • Used as a stabilizer in some alkaline facial cleansers and body washes
  • Chelates metal ions to extend product shelf life

Dish-Soap
Personal-Care-Products

Industrial Cleaning & Water Treatment

Hard Water Softening & Scale Inhibition

  • Effective water softener for boilers, circulating cooling water, and heat exchangers

  • Chelates calcium and magnesium ions to prevent new scale formation

  • Can dissolve some existing scale and inhibit corrosion

Wastewater Treatment

  • Electroplating wastewater, printing & dyeing wastewater, mining wastewater

  • Chelates heavy metals such as copper (Cu²⁺), nickel (Ni²⁺), lead (Pb²⁺), and zinc (Zn²⁺)

  • Reduces heavy metal toxicity for subsequent precipitation or recovery

FAQ

Q1: Can EDTA-4Na and EDTA-2Na be used interchangeably?

Direct substitution is not recommended. Their pH values differ significantly, which would alter the final formulation pH and affect chelation efficiency and system stability. If replacement is necessary, reformulate the pH and other components accordingly.

Q2: Does EDTA-4Na contain phosphorus?

No. For regions with phosphate bans or environmentally sensitive detergent formulations, EDTA-4Na can be used as a phosphorus-free chelating agent.

Q3: Is EDTA-4Na degraded in wastewater?

EDTA compounds biodegrade slowly in natural environments. Some wastewater treatment plants effectively remove them using advanced oxidation processes (e.g., ozone, UV/H₂O₂). Compliance with local environmental discharge regulations is recommended.
