Description

Trisodium 2-Propoxypropane-1,2,3-Tricarboxylate is a high-purity, water-soluble organic salt widely used as a versatile chelating and sequestering agent in industrial formulations. Its primary value lies in its ability to effectively bind and deactivate metal ions, preventing unwanted precipitation and catalytic degradation. This makes it an essential additive for manufacturers in the detergent, personal care, textile processing, and water treatment industries seeking to enhance product stability and performance.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Acts as a powerful builder and sequestrant to soften water, inactivate metal ions, and improve the cleaning efficiency of surfactants.
• Personal Care Products: Used in shampoos, liquid soaps, and creams as a chelating agent to stabilize formulations by preventing metal-catalyzed oxidation and rancidity.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a chelant in dyeing and bleaching baths to complex with calcium, magnesium, and heavy metal ions, ensuring consistent color and fabric quality.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Employed in boiler and cooling water systems to control scale formation by sequestering hardness-causing ions like calcium and magnesium.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Enhances bleaching processes and improves pulp brightness by chelating transition metals that catalyze peroxide decomposition.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a stabilizing agent in certain pesticide and fertilizer solutions to prevent precipitation and maintain efficacy.

Quality Control

Our Trisodium 2-Propoxypropane-1,2,3-Tricarboxylate 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. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profiles, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and compliance with your application requirements.

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