Nitrilotriacetic acid is a chelating agent, meaning it can bind to metal ions. It has various industrial applications, including in metal cleaning, detergents, and water treatment.

Color:

  • White.
  • Crystalline powder.

Model/Type: Nitrilotriacetic Acid (NTA) is an organic compound and a type of chelating agent.

Material: Nitrilotriacetic Acid (NTA) is typically produced through the reaction of nitrilotriethanol and acetic acid. It’s soluble in water and commonly found in both industrial and laboratory settings (C₆H₉NO₆)

How to Use: When using Nitrilotriacetic Acid (NTA), it is essential to follow specific guidelines based on its application in industry or research to ensure safety and efficiency.

Applications:

  • Industrial Water Treatment: NTA is used to remove or control metal ion contamination in water systems, preventing scale formation and corrosion.
  • Cleaning and Detergents: In detergents, it enhances the cleaning power by binding metal ions that could interfere with surfactants, improving the performance of cleaning products.
  • Agricultural Use: NTA is mixed with fertilizers to enhance nutrient availability and uptake in plants, especially for micronutrients like iron, zinc, and copper.
  • Cosmetic Formulations: NTA stabilizes cosmetic formulas, especially those containing metal-sensitive ingredients, ensuring their efficacy and safety.
