Technical Details & Test Data
- Chelating Comparison of Edta and Phytic Acid
EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) is a common chelating agent that can be found in many beauty products. This ingredient prevents other ingredients from binding with trace elements (such as minerals) that can be present in water. It is used to help prevent deterioration, increase effectiveness and improve the stability of a product. However, EDTA is not readily biodegradable and can act as an environmental pollutant, mobilizing toxic heavy metals from sediments found in our waterways.
GreenGard™ PA12 And EDTA chelating capacity for diffferent heavy metal ions at pH=6
The chart to the left compares the ability of GreenGardTM PA and EDTA to form complexes with different ions. Phytic acid and its sodium salts are comparable to EDTA and are ideal replacements.
