Tetrasodium Iminidisuccinate IDS CAS:144538-83-0 usage
1. Detergents & Cleaning Products* Chelating Agent: Binds to metal ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺) in hard water, improving detergent efficiency.
* Stabilizer: Prevents metal ions from interfering with bleach or enzymes in cleaners.
* Eco-Alternative: Replaces phosphates and EDTA in "green" detergents.
2. Personal Care & Cosmetics
* Stabilizer: Enhances shelf life of products by sequestering metals that cause oxidation.
* Hair/Skin Care: Used in shampoos and cleansers to reduce mineral buildup (e.g., from hard water).
3. Agriculture
* Micronutrient Carrier: Improves plant uptake of nutrients (e.g., iron, zinc) in fertilizers.
* Soil Remediation: Helps remove heavy metals from contaminated soils.
4. Water Treatment
* Scale Inhibitor: Prevents scaling in boilers and cooling systems by binding calcium/magnesium.
* Heavy Metal Removal: Used in wastewater treatment to chelate toxic metals (Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺).
5. Industrial Processes
* Pulp/Paper: Reduces metal-induced degradation during bleaching.
* Textiles: Improves dyeing processes by controlling metal interference.
6. Other Uses
* Approved as a sequestrant in some regions (check local regulations).
Advantages Over Traditional Chelators
* Biodegradable: Breaks down more easily than EDTA or NTA.
* Low Toxicity: Safer for humans and the environment.
* Multivalent Chelation: Effective across a wide pH range.
