Versatile Metal Ion Chelates
Understand how chelates can work for you
You can control metal ions in your processes and end products with our versatile chelates, also referred to as chelating agents or chelants. Here’s what else they can help you do:
Prevent downtime
Uncontrolled metal ions—iron, copper, manganese, calcium, and others—in your product or process can accelerate chemical reactions that lead to loss of product and equipment downtime. Our heavy metal chelating agents can help prevent that.
Improve quality and sustainability
Chelates can be added to finished consumer products and in processes to address issues that metal ions can cause, including degradation, discoloration, precipitation, emulsion instability and rancidity. They also address scaling, degradation, and unwanted chemical reactions, improving operations.
Boost performance and reduce costs
Our chelates can be used to enhance the performance of products like vitamins and plant micronutrients, as well as household, industrial and institutional cleaners. And because they’re effective at remarkably low concentrations, our chelating agents can lower operating and material costs.
