A Green Chelating Agent (also known as Biodegradable Chelating Agent) is an eco-friendly compound that binds metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, or iron, preventing them from interfering with cleaning, personal care, and industrial formulations.
Unlike traditional chelating agents such as EDTA, which are difficult to degrade and may accumulate in the environment, Green Chelating Agents offer high performance with excellent biodegradability, low toxicity, and sustainability — meeting the latest global trends in eco-friendly formulations.
As a leading Green Chelating Agent manufacturer and supplier, we provide a full range of biodegradable chelating agents suitable for detergents, personal care, household cleaning, water treatment, textile, and agriculture applications.
Biodegradable chelating agents such as MGDA, GLDA, and EDDS break down naturally, minimizing aquatic toxicity and reducing the carbon footprint of formulations.
They provide strong binding capacity across a wide pH range (from acidic to alkaline), making them ideal replacements for EDTA, NTA, and DTPA in modern formulations.
Whether you produce dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash, or industrial cleaners, green chelating agents ensure product stability, foam control, and superior cleaning power.
Below are our main biodegradable chelating agents designed for different applications. All are available in liquid and powder forms, and can be customized based on pH, concentration, and packaging requirements.
Form: MGDA Powder, MGDA Solution
Description:
A high-performance biodegradable chelating agent with >60% active content, MGDA Powder is ideal for solid detergent formulations. It shows excellent stability in alkaline systems and efficiently binds Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions.
