What is Dipotassium EDTA?

Dipotassium EDTA (CAS 2001-94-7) is a potassium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid used industrially as a chelating and sequestering agent.

Personal care and cosmetics: stabilizes formulations by deactivating trace metals that accelerate rancidity
Water treatment: sequesters calcium, magnesium and heavy metal ions, preventing mineral deposits
Agriculture: chelating carrier keeping micronutrient minerals bioavailable in fertilizer blends and foliar sprays
Textile and leather processing: controls metal ion interference during dyeing and finishing for colour consistency
It binds free metal ions in solution, preventing oxidation, scale formation and product degradation.

Good to know: Buyers source it as a water-soluble alternative to sodium-based EDTA salts where potassium content is a formulation requirement.
