Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is a naturally and sustainably produced sequestrant derived from the Amino Acid Glutamic acid. It can be used to replace EDTA acid and EDTA salts such as Tetrasodium EDTA in a 1:1 ratio. It is an alkaline sequestering agent (also known as chelants, or chelating agents)– it binds up and makes inert impurities such as metal ions of iron, magnesium and calcium, and prevents them from interacting with other ingredients.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate has many uses from food to personal care products. Common uses include:

• Shampoos Sequestering agent in shampoos & cleaners to improve stability

• Textile Industry Used to prevent metal ion impurities from modifying colors of dyed products

• Foods Used as preservative in some foods to prevent catalytic oxidative discoloration

• Laundry Used to remove water hardness in laundry applications

• Boilers Used to prevent scale formation in boilers due to water hardness

• Titrations Used in complexometric titrations and analysis of water hardness
