Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is called a Chelant, Chelator, or Sequestering agent for chemical formulations, which reduces water hardness and prevents precipitations.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate inactivates metallic ions in product formulations like cosmetics and detergents.

In formulations, free-roaming iron and copper ions can lead to rapid oxidation, which will spoil quickly. 

Using Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate helps to slow this process, allowing for the creation of products with improved stability and appearance. 

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate also improves the effectiveness of preservative ingredients, allowing us to use a lower percentage of these for safer shelf-stable products.

Applications of Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate

• Water treatment            

• Industrial detergents and cleaners

• Hard surface cleaners

• Dishwashing detergents

• Laundry detergents HDL and LDL

• Paper industry

• Cosmetic/ personal care products

• Textile auxiliaries

• Preservative booster

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is a powerful chelating agent made from natural, biodegradable, renewable raw materials and also functions as an effective preservative booster. 

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate complexes hard water ions effectively while retaining their high chelating value at elevated temperatures compared to other chelating agents. 

In many applications, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate can be a more sustainable alternative to phosphonates and commonly used chelating agents (NTA and EDTA).

Produced from a naturally occurring amino acid, Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is readily biodegradable with a high solubility over a wide pH range and is thus a greener alternative to many other chelates. 

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate can replace EDTA in a 1:1 ratio in many applications and products. 

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate also does not sensitize human skin and provides enhanced biocidal/preservative boosting power compared to commonly used boosters such as EDTA and NTA.

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate can be used in many industrial and household cleaners applications. 

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, when added to a formulation, can help stabilize the product and prevent discoloration. 

In larger quantities, Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate will enhance the cleaning ability and prevent active ingredients’ deactivation during use. 

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate also reduces the effect of Calcium and Magnesium ions resulting in better surfactant performance. 

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is suitable for personal care and cosmetics products due to the strong chelating ability of calcium and transition metal ions, prolonging the shelf life of many products.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is a chelating agent thats react with metal ions to form a stable, water-soluble complex. 

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is also known as chelants, chelators, or sequestering agents.

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is often used in the formulations of sunscreen, facial cleanser, shampoo, makeup, lotion, detergents, cleansing wipes, bar soap, and other cleaning products.
