Trilon B Powder

Trilon B, also known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA disodium salt), is a chelating agent that binds to metal ions, making it useful in various industrial, environmental, and laboratory applications. In its powdered form, Trilon B is highly effective at sequestering metal ions, preventing them from interfering with processes or causing unwanted reactions. Key Characteristics: Chemical Composition: Disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) Appearance: White, crystalline powder Odor: Odorless Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a clear solution; slightly soluble in alcohol pH: Typically around 4-5 in a 1% aqueous solution Production: Synthesis: Trilon B is synthesized through the reaction of EDTA with sodium hydroxide, resulting in the disodium salt form, which is more soluble and easier to handle compared to the free acid form of EDTA.
