IDS-4Na Stabiliser: The Biodegradable Chelator Replacing EDTA in Europe

Introduction: Are stability and sustainability key to your product's success?

Across industries in Europe, from detergents and textiles to water treatment, product stability is paramount. However, traditional stabilizers like EDTA are under scrutiny due to environmental regulations and consumer demand for greener solutions. Enter Iminodisuccinate Tetrasodium (IDS-4Na)—a high-performance, readily biodegradable chelating agent that is revolutionising the role of stabilisers.

1. What is Iminodisuccinate Tetrasodium? Meet Your New Stabilisation Partner

Iminodisuccinate Tetrasodium (IDS-4Na) is an organic compound derived from aspartic acid. Its molecular structure, featuring multiple carboxylate groups, grants it exceptional chelating power and dispersing capabilities.

Think of it as a highly efficient "sequestration manager." It effectively binds to metal ions like calcium, magnesium, and iron in a solution. This action prevents these ions from catalysing oxidation, forming scale, or causing precipitation, thereby ensuring the fundamental stability of your product formulation.

2. Key Advantages: Why Choose IDS-4Na as Your Stabiliser?

Why is Iminodisuccinate Tetrasodium stabiliser becoming the preferred choice for European manufacturers? Here are four key benefits:

1. Superior Chelating Stability

   • Performance: Forms strong complexes with di- and trivalent metal ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺), effectively inhibiting metal-ion catalysed degradation and precipitation, which extends product shelf life.

2. Excellent Dispersing Properties

   • Performance: Prevents particle agglomeration and redeposition of soil. This is crucial in detergents and textile auxiliaries, maintaining system homogeneity and enhancing cleaning performance and colour brightness.

3. Proven Environmental Compatibility

   • Performance: As a green chemical, it is readily biodegradable according to OECD standards, breaking down into water, CO₂, and biomass. It is the leading eco-friendly alternative to EDTA and NTA, helping you comply with EU regulations like REACH and Detergent Regulations.

4. Broad pH Compatibility and Thermal Stability

   • Performance: Maintains high efficacy across a wide pH range, especially under alkaline conditions, and offers good stability at elevated temperatures, making it versatile for various industrial processes.

3. Applications: Where Can You Use Iminodisuccinate Tetrasodium?

Our Iminodisuccinate Tetrasodium stabiliser is successfully implemented across multiple sectors:

• Detergents and Cleaning Products: Acts as a powerful co-builder and stabiliser, boosting surfactant performance, preventing soap scum, and protecting fabrics—ideal for premium, sustainable detergent formulas.

• Textile Processing: Serves as an effective peroxide bleach stabiliser in bleaching baths, preventing uncontrolled decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and protecting fabric integrity. Also acts as a dye dispersant.

• Water Treatment and Industrial Cleaning: Sequesters scale-forming ions to prevent deposits in cooling water systems, boilers, and metal cleaning applications, improving operational efficiency.

• Agrochemicals and Paper Industry: Functions as a stabiliser and chelating agent for micronutrients in fertilizers and process chemicals.
