Hardness Sequestrants

INCI: 2,2′,2»,2»’-(Ethane-1,2-diyldinitrilo) tetraacetic acid

EDTA

Chelating agent that can bind with Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, and other divalent metal ions. It can also be used to remove heavy metal ions inhibition on enzymes.

INCI: Hepta sodium salt of Diethylene Triamine Penta (Methylene Phosphonic Acid)

DTPMP Na7

Chelating agent for divalent metal ions Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Fe2+.

INCI: Methylglycine N,N-diacetic acid, Trisodium Salt

MGDA Na3

Green chelating agent for metal ions. It can chelate metal ions to form stable soluble complexes. It can be used over a wide pH range and create a synergistic effect with biocides. It can work as a substitute for phosphonate salts, NTA, EDTA, citrate, and other chelating agents.

Hardness sequestrants in agrochemicals are chemical substances designed to mitigate the negative effects of water hardness when used in agrochemical mixtures. Water hardness primarily refers to the presence of calcium ions (Ca2+) and magnesium ions (Mg2+), which can affect the efficacy of active ingredients in agrochemicals.
