DTPA 5Na, Pentasodium DTPA Chelating Agent

DTPA.Na5, Pentasodium Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid Liquid

DTPA 5Na is a chelating agent that binds metal ions strongly with 5 Na+ ligands so they cannot combine with other ingredients. This stronger bonding is used to produce chelated micronutrients for fertilizers that allow their use in more alkaline conditions that the more common EDTA.

Applications:

  • In soaps as a water softener.
  • In dyes & perfumes to protect them from metals in solution.
  • For delivery of micro-nutrients to plants as chelated micronutrients.
    Particularly effective in soils with a Ph over 6.
