Description

Sodium Dihydroxyethylglycinate is a high-purity, water-soluble amino acid derivative widely recognized for its excellent chelating and buffering properties. This versatile compound is essential for stabilizing formulations by effectively sequestering metal ions that can cause product degradation and discoloration. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking to enhance product performance and shelf life.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a highly effective chelating agent in shampoos, conditioners, skin creams, and lotions to improve stability and prevent rancidity.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in liquid soaps, hard surface cleaners, and detergent formulations to control water hardness and boost cleaning efficacy.
• Metal Surface Treatment: Employed in plating baths and metal cleaning solutions to complex interfering metal ions and maintain bath consistency.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a stabilizing agent in dyeing and finishing baths to prevent adverse interactions with metal contaminants.
• Agricultural Formulations: Incorporated into certain pesticide and fertilizer solutions to enhance chemical stability and compatibility.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring specific chelation or buffering steps.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Dihydroxyethylglycinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
