Key Efficacy

1. Chelating and stabilizing effectIt can strongly bind to various metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper in the system, forming stable complexes that prevent these ions from participating in chemical reactions. In cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, this function helps avoid product discoloration, deterioration, or efficacy loss caused by metal ion catalysis, thus extending the shelf life of products.
2. Enhancing cleaning efficiencyIn household detergents and industrial cleaning agents, it can chelate the calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, preventing the formation of insoluble scale deposits on surfaces. Meanwhile, it helps improve the activity of surfactants, enhancing the overall decontamination ability of cleaning products and making them more effective in removing stubborn stains.
3. Preservative synergistIn cosmetics and personal care products, it acts as an auxiliary ingredient for preservatives. By chelating the metal ions that are necessary for microbial growth, it inhibits the metabolic activities of bacteria and molds, thereby enhancing the antimicrobial effect of preservatives and reducing the required dosage of preservatives.
4. Food quality maintenanceIn the food industry, it is used as a preservative and quality improver. It can prevent oxidative browning of fruits and vegetables, maintain the bright color of food, and inhibit the rancidity of oily foods caused by metal ion catalysis, helping to preserve the original flavor and nutritional value of food.
5. Pharmaceutical auxiliary functionIn pharmaceutical preparations, it is used as a stabilizer for injections and oral drugs. It can prevent the degradation of active pharmaceutical ingredients induced by metal ions, ensure the stability of drug efficacy, and also reduce the potential irritation of drugs to the human body.
