Overview of EDTA Tetrasodium Dihydrate

EDTA Tetrasodium Dihydrate is a strong chelating and sequestering agent widely used in cosmetics, personal care, detergents, cleaning products, and industrial formulations. Its primary function is to bind metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper, which can otherwise reduce product stability, effectiveness, and shelf life.

Its CAS number is 139-02-6, and it is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder or granules with excellent water solubility. Because it works effectively in neutral to alkaline formulations, EDTA Tetrasodium Dihydrate is preferred over acidic EDTA forms in shampoos, liquid soaps, detergents, and cleaners.

It is commonly used alongside ingredients such as Disodium EDTA, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Metabisulfite,  and Buffers to enhance formulation performance and stability.

Application of EDTA Tetrasodium Dihydrate

Cosmetic and Personal Care Formulations

EDTA Tetrasodium Dihydrate is used in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, face cleansers, creams, and lotions. It improves product stability by preventing metal-ion contamination, enhances preservative efficiency, and reduces discolouration caused by trace metals.

Detergents and Cleaning Products

It is widely used in liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, laundry formulations, surface cleaners, and industrial cleaners. Softening hard water improves surfactant performance, cleaning efficiency, and prevents scale or residue formation.

Industrial and Water-Sensitive Applications

In industrial formulations, EDTA Tetrasodium Dihydrate is used in metal cleaning solutions, water-treatment chemicals, cooling systems, and chemical processing where metal ion control is critical for consistent performance.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Keep containers tightly closed

• Avoid inhalation of dust during bulk handling

• Use protective gloves and eye protection

• Do not mix directly with strong acids

When used as recommended, EDTA Tetrasodium Dihydrate is stable, safe, and highly effective in cosmetic, detergent, and industrial formulations.
