Green Chemistry Revolution: Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (IDS·Na4) Leads Industry Transformation

One molecule combining industrial strength with environmental friendliness

As industries face mounting pressure to reduce ecological footprints without compromising performance, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate (IDS·Na4) emerges as a transformative solution. This advanced chelating agent represents the next generation of sustainable chemistry, effectively bridging industrial efficiency and environmental responsibility. With tightening global regulations and growing consumer demand for green products, IDS·Na4 has become a powerful alternative to traditional, less eco-friendly chelators like EDTA, DTPA, and NTA. Leading this green revolution is Yuanlian Chemical—a pioneer committed to delivering high-performance, sustainable chemical solutions for global industries.

Decoding the Chemistry: Unique Advantages of IDS·Na4

At its molecular core, IDS·Na4 possesses the unique ability to form stable complexes with metal ions, ensuring exceptional efficiency across diverse applications. Its distinctive iminodisuccinate structure provides multiple binding sites that firmly lock onto metal ions, preventing undesirable chemical reactions. This molecular architecture delivers three critical advantages:

• Exceptional Chelating Power: Demonstrates superior binding capacity for problematic metal ions (especially iron and copper), outperforming EDTA in key areas. Maintains comparable strength to traditional agents for manganese, calcium, zinc and other transition metals—without their environmental drawbacks.

• Unrivaled Environmental Profile: With a 60% biodegradability rate, IDS·Na4 decomposes significantly faster than conventional synthetic chelators, minimizing ecological impact while meeting stringent international standards.

• Remarkable Stability: Maintains integrity and functionality under harsh conditions, showing outstanding stability in hydrogen peroxide solutions—critical for bleaching and disinfection applications.

Available in liquid (colorless to pale yellow solution, ≥40% solid content) and solid (white powder, ≥90% solid content) forms, IDS·Na4 offers formulation flexibility. Its aqueous solutions are alkaline, typically with pH 8.5-12.5 at 1% concentration, ensuring compatibility with various industrial systems.

Transformative Applications Across Industries

Industrial Cleaning & Maintenance
Revolutionizes cleaning formulations with exceptional rust and iron sulfide removal capabilities. When combined with surfactants, significantly enhances hard-surface cleaning efficiency—ideal for metalworking fluids, pipeline cleaning (especially natural gas networks), and glass cleaners. Prevents soil redeposition and equipment corrosion by neutralizing problematic metal ions.

Consumer Products & Cosmetics
Boosts cleaning power in household detergents by counteracting water-hardness ions (Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺) that interfere with surfactants. Its environmental safety makes it invaluable for everyday cleaners. In cosmetics, chelates metal catalysts that oxidize unsaturated fats, enhancing product stability and reducing skin irritation risks.

Paper & Textile Manufacturing
Exceptional stability in H₂O₂ solutions makes it the ideal stabilizer for high-temperature alkaline bleaching. Controls catalytic bleach decomposition by sequestering Cu²⁺/Fe³⁺ ions, delivering improved whiteness with reduced silicate scaling when used with sodium silicate.

Additional Innovative Applications

• Agriculture: Micronutrient carrier in fertilizers, improving plant metal uptake

• Water Treatment: Controls scaling and metal-induced corrosion in cooling/boiler systems

• Product Preservation: Extends shelf-life by inhibiting metal-catalyzed degradation

Safe Handling & Storage Solutions

Yuanlian Chemical ensures safe delivery through robust packaging:

• 25kg/250kg durable plastic drums (custom options available)

• Store in ventilated areas away from direct sunlight

• Maintain liquids >5°C to prevent crystallization

• Keep containers sealed

• 12-month shelf life under proper storage

Basic safety precautions required (gloves/eye protection). For skin/eye contact: Rinse immediately with copious water ≥15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
