  • Applications

    Maltobionic acid (CAS 534-42-9) is used primarily as a mild chelating agent and humectant in cosmetics and personal care, helping stabilize formulations and retain moisture; in household and industrial cleaners it is evaluated as a biodegradable chelating/stabilizing additive to sequester metal ions; in industrial manufacturing it can serve as a processing aid and a pH-adjusting component; in polymers/plastics and coatings it may function as a stabilizer or processing aid; and in pharmaceutical contexts it can be used as an excipient or intermediate under appropriate regulations.
