  • Applications

    Edetate Monocalcium (CAS 12264-18-5) is commonly used as a chelating/sequestering agent to bind trace metal ions and improve stability in a range of industrial and consumer formulations. In detergents and household cleaners, it helps mitigate hardness metal interference and enhance cleaning performance; in cosmetics and personal care, it stabilizes formulations by chelating metal ions; in agriculture, it is used to form micronutrient chelates for fertilizers and foliar sprays; in coatings and inks, it helps stabilize pigments and prevent metal-catalyzed degradation; in polymer processing and electronics, it serves as a complexing agent to control metal ion concentrations during manufacturing; in water treatment, it aids in water softening and scale prevention.
