Frequently Asked Questions:
How does EDTA actually work as a chelating agent?
Its molecule has multiple "claw-like" sites that tightly bind to metal ions (like calcium, magnesium, and iron) in a solution. This sequesters the ions, preventing them from reacting with other ingredients and causing cloudiness, oxidation, or rancidity.
No. EDTA is a preservative booster, not a primary preservative. It enhances the efficacy of other preservatives by making it harder for microbes to thrive, but it does not kill them on its own.
Can I use it to replace a primary preservative?
EDTA 4NA dissolves best in warm water. A cloudy solution usually means the water was too cold, or it wasn't stirred long enough for complete dissolution. Gentle heating and continuous stirring will give a clear solution.
Why is my EDTA solution cloudy?
No, Tetrasodium EDTA is not readily biodegradable. It persists in the environment, which is a consideration for companies with strong eco-friendly policies.
Is it biodegradable?
The number refers to how many sodium atoms are attached. EDTA 4NA (Tetrasodium) is the most alkaline and has the highest water solubility. EDTA 2NA (Disodium) is less alkaline and is more common in personal care, while EDTA 3NA (Trisodium) is less common.
