AT-9010 tetrasodium is primarily utilized in industrial cleaning formulations due to its exceptional chelating properties. It effectively binds with metal ions, preventing them from interfering with cleaning processes, which enhances the efficiency of detergents and cleaners. This chemical is particularly valuable in water treatment applications, where it helps to control scale formation and corrosion by sequestering calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions. Additionally, it is employed in the textile industry to improve the quality of dyeing processes by stabilizing metal ions in dye baths, ensuring consistent and vibrant color results. Its ability to maintain stability in high-temperature and high-pH environments makes it a versatile component in various industrial applications.
