Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (IDS)

Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (IDS) is used as a complexing and sequestering agent for metal ions in technical and industrial formulations and processes.

• Detergents and cleaning products, for the complexation of alkaline earth metal and heavy metal ions.
• Textile and paper manufacturing processes where metal ion control is required.
• Photographic applications that use complexing agents in their formulations or processes.
• Ceramic industry as a sequestering agent in technical formulations and treatments.
• Agricultural fertilizers with metallic micronutrients, as a complexing agent for trace metals.
• Scale treatment, water softening and stabilization of bleaching agents in compatible applications.

The selection and conditions of use must be adjusted to the formulation, the process and the applicable technical documentation.
