Copper EDTA disodium

Copper EDTA disodium (CAS 14025-15-1), also known as Cu-EDTA or copper disodium edetate, is a chelated copper complex that delivers bioavailable copper in a stable, water-soluble form. It is used across agriculture, nutrition, and water treatment as a controlled copper source where free ionic copper would be ineffective or incompatible with the formulation matrix.

In agriculture and animal feed, Cu-EDTA supplies copper as a micronutrient in foliar sprays, fertigation programs, and premix formulations where uptake efficiency is critical for growth. Water treatment applications use it to maintain copper activity in systems where hardness or pH would otherwise precipitate free copper salts, ensuring consistent performance in various environments.

In food and nutritional products, it functions as a copper fortification agent in mineral premixes and dietary supplements requiring chelated mineral forms for better absorption and stability. Industrial formulations also employ it as a sequestrant to stabilize copper activity and prevent undesirable oxidation or mineral interference during complex chemical manufacturing processes.

Copper EDTA disodium is supplied as a crystalline powder or granule, typically in blue-green coloration characteristic of the copper complex, ensuring easy identification and handling. Standard grades include technical and feed-grade specifications, with agricultural applications often requiring documentation to recognized quality standards for industrial procurement volumes.
