Description

Pentapotassium N,n-Bis[2-[Bis(2-Carboxyethyl)Amino]Ethyl]-β-Alaninate is a high-purity, multi-functional chelating agent and sequestrant. This compound is valued for its exceptional ability to bind and deactivate metal ions, which is critical for preventing unwanted reactions and maintaining product stability in complex formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and water treatment sectors who require reliable performance and consistent quality in their processes.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a highly effective chelating agent in shampoos, conditioners, and skin creams to stabilize formulations by sequestering trace metal ions that can cause rancidity or discoloration.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in liquid detergents, hard surface cleaners, and dishwashing formulations to enhance cleaning efficacy by controlling water hardness and preventing scale formation.
• Water Treatment: Employed as a scale and corrosion inhibitor in boiler water, cooling towers, and reverse osmosis systems to improve operational efficiency and equipment lifespan.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a chelant in dyeing and bleaching baths to improve color fastness, brightness, and process uniformity by controlling metal ion interference.
• Agriculture: Functions as a component in micronutrient fertilizers and agrochemical formulations to enhance the bioavailability and stability of essential metal ions for plant uptake.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in bleaching processes to chelate transition metals, thereby protecting cellulose fibers and improving the efficiency of bleaching agents.

Quality Control

Our Pentapotassium N,n-Bis[2-[Bis(2-Carboxyethyl)Amino]Ethyl]-β-Alaninate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every 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 metals, 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
