Product Overview
EDTA-4Na, also named Tetrasodium EDTA, is the tetrasodium salt of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid.
CAS No.: 64-02-8
EINECS No.: 200-573-9
Compared with EDTA free acid and EDTA-2Na, EDTA-4Na features excellent water solubility and inherent alkalinity. It performs outstanding chelating capacity in neutral to alkaline environments. By sequestering metal cations, it prevents scale precipitation, avoids catalytic degradation and improves the stability of alkaline water-based systems. It is the preferred chelator for high-alkali cleaning formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
1. Q: What would you do to guarantee the product quality?
To fully guarantee stable and reliable product quality, we implement full-process control covering Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) with systematic measures,conduct multi-stage product testing with full batch traceability, adopt strict health & environmental control to avoid product contamination, carry out regular QHSE audits and continuous system optimization, plus standardized storage and logistics management. Every link follows unified QHSE rules to eliminate quality risks fundamentally.
2. Q:Can you provide COA / MSDS /TDS before order?
Yes, we can provide complete COA, MSDS /TDS documents for your reference prior to placing orders. Please advise the exact product grade and quantity you intend to purchase, and we will send you the latest updated versions of these technical documents promptly by email. All files are issued in accordance with international QHSE standards,for your customs clearance, laboratory testing and internal risk assessment.
3. Q: What about your price?
We offer flexible and favorable prices for bulk orders. To provide an accurate best quotation,
kindly advise: (1)Required product grade (2)Order quantity (3)Preferred trade term (FOB / CIF) (4)Destination port
Meanwhile, we can supply complete TDS, SDS and COA for your reference before order confirmation. We believe this is an effective way to build long – term business with our customers and earn good reputation.
4. Q: What payment terms do you accept?
We support multiple flexible payment terms to meet different cooperation demands:
