PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

HEDP (1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1-Diphosphonic Acid) is an organophosphonate material used in detergent, cleaning, water-treatment, and industrial formulations where control of metal ions and mineral deposits is important. It provides strong complexing and sequestration performance with several metal ions and can contribute to scale-control and formulation-stability functions in compatible systems. The material is available in different concentration grades. The referenced 60% grade is supplied as a clear, colorless to pale-yellow aqueous solution, while the referenced 90% grade is supplied as a white crystalline powder. Its chemical stability and chelating characteristics make it suitable for a variety of cleaning, detergent, metal-treatment, and industrial process applications.
