Dispotassium EDTA (K?EDTA) Powder Chemical

Dispotassium EDTA (also written as Di-PotassiumEthylenediaminetetraacetic Acid or K?EDTA) is a white, water-soluble powder used primarily as a chelating agent, capable of sequestering and binding metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese. It is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, laboratory diagnostics, and industrial formulations.

In Ahmedabad, multiple chemical companies manufacture and supply high-purity Dispotassium EDTA for local and export markets, especially in formulations where sodium-based EDTA is unsuitable orpotassium-based chemistry is preferred.

Applications of Dispotassium EDTA Powder

Industry	Application
Pharmaceutical	Blood anticoagulant in hematology tubes (K?EDTA vacutainers)
Cosmetic & Personal Care	Stabilizer in shampoos, creams, lotions to bind metal ions
Agriculture	Micronutrient chelation – forms stable chelates of Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu
Water Treatment	Prevents scale formation, binds metal ions in water softening
Laboratory Use	Preserves blood samples and prevents clotting in analytical procedures
Industrial Chemicals	Used as metal scavenger and stabilizer in complex formulations
Food Additive (in some cases)	Acts as preservative and stabilizer (requires food-grade type)

Top 10 FAQs on Dispotassium EDTA Powder

What is Dispotassium EDTA used for?
? It’s used as a chelating agent in cosmetics, agriculture, blood preservation, and industrial cleaning.
How is it different from Disodium EDTA?
? K?EDTA uses potassium instead of sodium, making it preferable in sodium-restricted applications like pharmaceuticals.
Is K?EDTA safe for skin care products?
? Yes, when used within recommended limits (typically 0.01–0.1%).
What is its role in agriculture?
? Chelates micronutrients like iron, copper, manganese, and zinc for better plant absorption.
Can it be used in water treatment?
? Yes, it binds metal ions to reduce hardness and prevent scaling.
Does it act as an anticoagulant?
? Yes, it is widely used in hematology test tubes to prevent blood clotting.
What is the solubility of Dispotassium EDTA in water?
? Highly soluble; forms a clear solution when mixed in water.
Is it food-grade or pharma-grade?
? Depends on the manufacturing; food and pharma-grade variants are available upon request.
What is the price of Dispotassium EDTA powder in India?
? ?250 – ?500 per kg depending on purity, certification, and order volume.
Where can I buy Dispotassium EDTA in Ahmedabad?
? Through local manufacturers, chemical dealers, or platforms like IndiaMART and TradeIndia.
