MGDA: an excellent substitute for EDTA, DTPA, and NTA.

With the tightening of environmental protection supervision, the green and new development of chelating agents will be an inevitable trend. As a new environmentally friendly chelating agent, MGDA has broad market development space.

Trisodium methylglycine diacetate （MGDA), also known as trisodium dicarboxymethyl alanine, is a clear light yellow liquid. MGDA is a new environmentally friendly chelating agent with a structure similar to nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), but it is non-toxic, phosphorus-free, and biodegradable. It has broad application prospects in industrial cleaning agents, commercial detergents, electroplating electronics, personal care, daily chemical products and other fields.

Chelating agents can form stable water-soluble complexes, have the functions of decontamination and inhibiting scale formation, and are the main components of detergents and cleaning agents.

Now, there are many types of chelating agents, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) series, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) series, hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid (HEDTA) series, diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) series, glutamic acid diacetic acid (GLDA) series, etc. But traditional chelating agents have certain application limitations.

For example, EDTA is not easily degraded and NTA is potentially carcinogenic.

According to research, MGDA has good stain removal ability for blood stains, milk stains, ink stains, natural oils, sebum, etc., and is easily biodegradable. It is an excellent substitute for traditional chelating agents such as EDTA, DTPA, and NTA.
