Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Disodium, commonly known as EDTA-2Na for short, is a widely used chelating agent in detergents, personal care products, and cosmetics. It effectively binds to iron (Fe2+/Fe3+) and calcium ions (Ca2+), forming water-soluble complexes in an aqueous solution, thus preventing these metal ions from bonding to the surfactants, which are commonly ionic in cleaning formulas. In this way, EDTA-2Na contributes to softening the water and maintaining the effectiveness of the surfactant. 

EDTA-2Na also features outstanding sequestering ability and bacteria-inhibiting ability to improve the stability of the products in the air to increase their shelf life.

Yeser Chemicals partners with the leading EDTA-2Na producer by a Third-party Commissioned Production Agreement to supply top-quality EDTA-2Na at a competitive price, with a 500 MT/ Month capacity.


Features & Benefits: 

  • Highly effective in chelating metal ions to maintain the activeness of the surfactants used in detergent, personal care, and cosmetic formulas.
  • Outstanding sequestering ability and bacteria-inhibiting ability to improve the stability of personal care products and cosmetics in the air, so to increase their shelf life.
  • Super stable quality, as produced by appointed leading producers.
  • Steady supply, as guaranteed by long-term supply agreement.

Stability/Shelf life:

Stabe under proper storage.

Store in a cool, dry and ventilated place; Avoid direct sunlight.

Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of Yeser® EDTA-2Na is 24 months.

Recommended dosage:

The recommended dosage in detergents, personal care products, and cosmetics is 0.1%~1.0%.

Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t produce EDTA-2Na by ourselves, yet we are not simply trading it. 

We have signed Third-party Commissioned Production Agreement with a leading producer.

Together with our contract manufacturer, Yeser Chemicals supplies top-quality EDTA-2Na at a competitive price, with a capacity of 500 MT/ Month. 

Although EDTA-2Na was found to be effective in inhibting bacteria growth, it can not completely replace typical preservatives like Parabens, Methylcholoroisothiasolinone (MCI) and Methylisothiasolinone (MI).

Typically, our Minimum Order Quantity(MOQ) for EDTA-2NA is 300KG.

And, we accept mixed loading with other non-hazardous products, such as SLESCAPBCDEA, CMEA, AEO-9Dimethicone, etc.
