Metal ion challenges across various industry

Metal ions influence chemical processes as well as performance of many products. A wide range of problems associated with metal ions can be solved using chelating agents. Historically EDTA, NTA were the work horses of many industrial processes such as homecare, detergent, industrial cleaners, etc. However, tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is non- biodegradable chelating agent and NTA is carcinogen. As a result, the need to develop new green chemistry arose. The new biodegradable chelant, Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) is derived from renewable sources with better ecological and toxicological profiles.

Key unique differentiations offered by Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA)

• Environmentally Friendly Technology - Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) is classified as readily biodegradable (>60% degraded within 28 days) according to the internationally recognized OECD 301D test.
• Wide range of operating window - Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) operates across wide range of pH making it conducive to use in strongly alkaline hard surface cleaning applications that includes food processing, kitchen cleaning and automatic dishwashing products.
• Formulation flexibility, compatibility and Synergy - There is an increased interest in the use of Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) in disinfectant formulations. Like tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) can be used together with biocides to improve the biocidal performance of a disinfection system.
• Offers unique opportunity for skin friendly personal care product development - Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) is also used in personal care products. GLDA is free from genetically modified raw materials and is not irritating to skin or eyes, these properties are suitable in the development of new personal care products.
• Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) solutions for broad portfolio of industrial applications - Glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) is instrumental in reducing the detrimental effect of metal ions in various industrial processes such as paper manufacturing, personal care formulations, food processing industry, pharmaceutical formulations, metal working area etc.
