Description

D-Glucitol, 2-Carboxyethyl Ether, Sodium Salts is a water-soluble, anionic derivative of sorbitol, valued for its excellent chelating, sequestering, and humectant properties. This versatile compound is crucial for formulators seeking to enhance stability, control metal ions, and improve moisture retention in complex systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, and industrial cleaning sectors.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a highly effective humectant and conditioning agent in skin creams, lotions, and hair care products to maintain moisture and improve texture.
• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Serves as a powerful builder and sequestrant in liquid soaps, dishwashing detergents, and industrial cleaners to inactivate water hardness ions and improve cleaning efficiency.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Used as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in cooling water and boiler water systems to prevent the deposition of calcium and magnesium salts.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a chelating agent in dyeing and printing processes to improve color fastness and fabric quality by complexing interfering metal ions.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Employed as a stabilizer and dispersant to enhance pulp bleaching processes and improve paper quality.
• Agricultural Formulations: Can be used as an adjuvant in pesticide and fertilizer solutions to improve stability and efficacy.

Quality Control

Our D-Glucitol, 2-Carboxyethyl Ether, Sodium Salts 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 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 material 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 flowability.
