Product Technical Details

Product Overview

Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, commonly known as IDS-Na4, represents a significant advancement in environmentally responsible chemical engineering. Identified by CAS number 144538-83-0, this compound serves as a highly effective biodegradable chelating agent. It is specifically engineered to complex alkaline earth metals and heavy metal ions without persisting in the environment, making it a superior alternative to traditional phosphates or non-degradable chelators. Our manufacturing process ensures high consistency and purity, catering to the rigorous demands of modern industrial formulations.

As a key component in green chemistry initiatives, IDS-Na4 offers exceptional stability across a wide pH range, particularly in alkaline conditions. This characteristic makes it indispensable for industries seeking to reduce their ecological footprint while maintaining high performance in cleaning and processing operations. The product is available in both powdered and liquid forms to accommodate diverse logistical and formulation requirements.
