Sodium Gluconate
Chelating agent of biotechnological origin with very good performance in strongly alkaline media, where it sequesters calcium and iron. Due to its biodegradability, it is an alternative to phosphates and EDTA in alkaline cleaners. Used in CIP cleaning, high-pH degreasers, and bottle washing.
Tetrasodium EDTA
Tetrasodium EDTA
The reference chelating agent in detergency: it sequesters calcium, magnesium, and transition metals that interfere with surfactants and bleaches. It improves formula performance in hard water and contributes to formula stability. Used in liquid detergents, alkaline cleaners, and institutional products.
Citric Acid
Citric Acid
Organic acid of biotechnological origin used in agriculture as a pH and hardness corrector for spray water, preventing the alkaline hydrolysis of inputs in the tank. Its chelating capacity helps keep the cations in the spray solution available. Broad cross-sector use in food, cleaning and cosmetics in accordance with applicable regulations.
Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid
Benchmark acidulant in the food and beverage industry, obtained by fermentation. It provides acidity and citrus notes, regulates pH, and acts as a metal sequestrant that supports color and flavor stability. Its versatility makes it a warehouse staple for multiple industries.
