Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (IDS): The Advanced, Eco-Friendly Hydrogen Peroxide Stabilizer for Modern Industry

Introduction: The Critical Need for Advanced Peroxide Stabilization

Hydrogen peroxide is a fundamental bleaching and oxidizing agent in industries like textile manufacturing and pulp & paper. However, its efficiency is critically dependent on stabilization. Trace metals like iron and copper catalyze its rapid, uncontrolled decomposition, leading to reduced product quality, fibre damage, and increased chemical consumption.

This makes a high-performance hydrogen peroxide stabilizer essential. While traditional stabilizers like sodium silicate or phosphonates have been used, they bring significant drawbacks, including silicate scaling, equipment damage, and environmental concerns like eutrophication. The European market, governed by strict regulations, demands a sustainable, high-performance, and non-phosphorus alternative.

Why Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (CAS No. 144538-83-0) is the Ideal Solution

Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (IDS), a novel, readily biodegradable amino polycarboxylate, is the definitive answer to this challenge. With the CAS Registry Number 144538-83-0, it represents a green and high-performance alternative to traditional chelators like EDTA and NTA.

Its superior performance is due to several key properties:

1. Exceptional Metal Chelation: IDS demonstrates a particularly strong affinity for di- and trivalent metal ions, especially Fe³⁺ (Iron) and Cu²⁺ (Copper), which are the primary catalysts for peroxide decomposition. By forming stable complexes, it effectively deactivates these ions, ensuring a controlled and efficient bleaching process.

2. Superior Stabilization Performance: In alkaline bleaching baths, IDS maintains optimal peroxide stability across a wide temperature range. This results in a more consistent and higher degree of whiteness, improved material quality, and prevention of fibre damage.

3. Outstanding Environmental Profile: This is a key advantage for the European market.

   • Phosphorus-Free: Its molecular structure contains no phosphorus, eliminating the risk of eutrophication.

   • Readily Biodegradable: IDS meets OECD criteria for ready biodegradability, breaking down into harmless natural metabolites.

   • Low Ecotoxicity: It exhibits very low toxicity to aquatic organisms and is compliant with stringent international ecolabels and regulations (e.g., REACH, ECOCERT).

4. Operational and Economic Benefits:

   • Prevents Scale Formation: Unlike sodium silicate, IDS is non-scaling, protecting machinery and reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

   • Excellent Compatibility: It works synergistically with other auxiliaries in complex chemical baths without negatively affecting their performance.

   • Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial cost may be higher, the reduction in peroxide consumption, combined with lower water and energy use for cleaning, offers a superior Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
