About Tetraacetic Acid ACS

Tetraacetic Acid ACS

EDTA acid is a synthetic amino acid, which is used to treat lead and mercury poisoning. Sodium or calcium EDTA acid binds to metals, such as nickel, copper, and iron and make them unavailable to react with other ingredients in a product or compounds within the human body. Compounds that act in this way are known as chelating agents and thus EDTA acid is a chelating agent.

FAQs of Tetraacetic Acid ACS:

Q: How should Tetraacetic Acid ACS be stored to ensure its quality and longevity?

A: Tetraacetic Acid ACS powder should be stored in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry place. This helps prevent moisture absorption or contamination, preserving its high purity and effectiveness for up to two years.

Q: What are the primary uses of Tetraacetic Acid ACS in laboratory and industrial settings?

A: It is predominantly used as a chelating agent to bind metal ions, in the preparation of buffer solutions, and as a reagent in various analytical and research applications. Its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions makes it essential for water treatment, chemical analysis, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Q: When is it appropriate to use Tetraacetic Acid ACS for buffering or chelation processes?

A: Tetraacetic Acid ACS is suitable when precise control over metal ion concentrations is needed, such as in analytical chemistry, metal extraction, or buffer preparation. Its effectiveness is optimal in acidic solutions (pH 2.53.5) and when high purity reagents are required.

Q: Where can Tetraacetic Acid ACS be sourced in India?

A: This product is widely available in India through various channels including distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers specializing in laboratory and industrial chemicals.

Q: What process is involved in using Tetraacetic Acid ACS as a chelating agent?

A: To use as a chelating agent, dissolve the powder in water (noting it is only slightly soluble), then adjust the pH if necessary. It will bind to metal ions present, forming stable complexes that can be separated or neutralized as needed in laboratory or industrial workflows.

Q: What are the benefits of Tetraacetic Acid ACS compared to other chelating agents?

A: Tetraacetic Acid ACS offers high-purity, reliable performance, compatibility with a wide range of metal ions, and safety due to its non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless nature. These qualities make it a preferred choice in sensitive scientific and industrial applications.
