Description

Pentasodium Hydrogen 1,2,3,4,5,6-Cyclohexanehexacarboxylate is a high-purity, water-soluble organic salt derived from the complete carboxylation of cyclohexane, serving as a versatile and powerful chelating agent and sequestrant. Its primary value lies in its exceptional ability to bind and deactivate di- and trivalent metal ions, preventing unwanted precipitation and catalytic degradation in complex formulations. This makes it a critical component for manufacturers in the detergent, personal care, water treatment, and textile processing industries seeking to enhance product stability and performance. CAS No. 50329-18-5.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Acts as a superior builder and sequestrant to inactivate water hardness ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺), improving surfactant efficiency and preventing scale formation.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a chelating agent in shampoos, soaps, and creams to stabilize formulations by binding trace metals that can cause rancidity and color change.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Employed in boiler and cooling water systems to control scale and inhibit corrosion by sequestering calcium, magnesium, and iron ions.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a chelant in dyeing and bleaching baths to prevent metal-ion interference, ensuring consistent color yield and fabric quality.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Enhances bleaching processes and improves pulp brightness by chelating transition metals that catalyze peroxide decomposition.
• Agriculture & Agrochemicals: Functions as a stabilizer and compatibility agent in liquid fertilizers and pesticide formulations.
• Laboratory & Analytical Chemistry: Used as a standard or reagent in complexometric titrations and metal ion buffer solutions.

Quality Control

Our Pentasodium Hydrogen 1,2,3,4,5,6-Cyclohexanehexacarboxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
