Used as a chelating agent in detergent formulations to enhance cleaning efficiency by sequestering metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. Improves performance in hard water conditions without forming insoluble precipitates.

Also employed in industrial cleaning processes, water treatment, and cooling systems to prevent scale formation, reduce corrosion, and maintain system efficiency.

In textile processing, used to bind interfering metal ions, improving dyeing efficiency and color consistency on cotton and synthetic fibers.

Additionally, utilized in foliar fertilizers to facilitate better absorption of micronutrients like iron, zinc, and manganese, supporting plant growth.

Biodegradable alternative to traditional phosphonate-based chelators, supporting eco-friendly product development.
