Chemicals Used in Detergent
  • EDTA disodium is a widely used chelating agent in washing. It can form stable complexes with metal ions, effectively removing scale and stains.


  • The application of EDTA disodium in laundry includes water softening, enhancing detergent performance, preventing color fading, and improving washing efficiency. It binds with metal ions like calcium and magnesium, reducing scale deposition and making washing machines and clothes easier to clean.


  • Additionally, it binds with metal ions in stains, enhancing the cleaning power of detergents and effectively removing stubborn stains.


  • In summary, EDTA disodium plays an important auxiliary role in washing, enhancing cleaning efficiency and laundry experience.

Scale and Mineral Removal
Scale and Mineral Removal

EDTA disodium effectively chelates with metal ions, such as calcium and magnesium, present in hard water. By binding to these ions, it prevents the formation of scale and mineral deposits on fabrics and inside the washing machine, thus improving washing efficiency.


Stain Removal and Color Preservation
Stain Removal and Color Preservation

EDTA disodium helps in the removal of stubborn stains by chelating with metal ions present in the stains. This action aids in lifting and suspending the stains, allowing the detergent to work more effectively. Additionally, it helps preserve the color of fabrics by preventing metal ions from reacting with dyes and causing color fading.


Detergent Performance Enhancement
Detergent Performance Enhancement

By sequestering metal ions, EDTA disodium prevents them from interfering with the performance of detergents. Metal ions can reduce the effectiveness of surfactants in removing dirt and stains. EDTA disodium ensures that detergents can function optimally, resulting in improved washing efficiency.


Fabric Softness and Longevity
Fabric Softness and Longevity

The chelating action of EDTA disodium helps in keeping fabrics soft and preventing them from becoming stiff or rough. It reduces the formation of mineral deposits on fabrics, which can make them feel less comfortable. Furthermore, by preserving the quality of fabrics and preventing damage caused by metal ions, EDTA disodium contributes to extending the lifespan of clothes.

01

Surfactants, also known as surface-active agents, are the core chemicals in cleaning agents. They play a crucial role in breaking down and removing dirt, grease, and stains. 

02

Surface Tension Reduction: Surfactants reduce the surface tension of water, allowing it to spread more easily and penetrate into the dirt and grime. This action helps to loosen and lift the particles from the surface being cleaned, enabling effective removal.

03

Emulsification: Surfactants have the ability to emulsify oils and fats. They surround and disperse the oil droplets in water, forming stable emulsions. This allows oil-based stains and residues to be easily washed away with water, improving the cleaning efficiency.

04

Wetting and Penetration: Surfactants enhance the wetting ability of water, enabling it to spread and soak into fabrics and surfaces more effectively. This ensures better contact between the cleaning solution and the dirt, facilitating the removal process.

05

Surfactants are essential in cleaning agents due to their unique properties that facilitate the removal of dirt and stains. They are widely used in various cleaning products, including laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners, to achieve optimal cleaning performance.
