Overview of Pentasodium Diethylenetriaminepentaacetate

Pentasodium Diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA-Na5) (CAS: 140-01-2) is a highly effective chelating and sequestrating agent widely used in water treatment, detergents, pulp & paper, textiles, and industrial cleaning formulations.

It appears as a white to off-white powder or granule and is known for its strong ability to bind metal ions such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and heavy metals.

DTPA-Na₅ plays a crucial role in industrial chemical processes due to its excellent chelation power, stability over a wide pH range, and compatibility with alkaline systems. It is extensively used in manufacturing cleaners, descalers, cosmetic formulations, electroplating solutions, and boiler water treatment chemicals.
