TRILON BX Powder
TRILON B Powder is the tetrasodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Na4EDTA). This economical form of EDTA is recommended for industrial applications where small amounts of Na3NTA can be tolerated.is a white, crystalline powder of the tetrasodium salt of
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. It is produced by a special process, which ensures that it contains very few impurities (low Na3NTA content).
Applications:
Soap:
The addition of TRILON BX Powder to curd soap, toilet soap and shaving soap can prevent discoloration and rancidity. TRILON BX Powder is added to bar soap in
concentrations of 0.1 - 0.2%.
Electroplating:
Can be incorporated in all types of alkaline degreasers to stabilize polyphosphates and to prevent lime soaps from flocculating. This prolongs the working life of
degreasing baths. TRILON BX Powder can also be used in neutral and alkaline derusting and descaling baths.
Rubber:
Can be used to complex the ferrous ions in the catalyst systems used in the polymerization of rubber.
Articles to be coated with rubber should be boiled for 1-2 hours in a 1-2 g/l solution of TRILON BX Powder.
Water Softening: Can be used to soften cooling water and process water. TRILON BX Powder can also soften boiler water feed; dissolve boiler scale and prevent new scale from
forming.
Detergents/Cleaners:
There are many applications for TRILON BX Powder in detergents and cleaners. It is popular due to its chelating capacity and its resistance to hydrolysis.
TRILON BX Powder is also used in industrial detergents and cleaners.
Other Applications:
TRILON BX Powder can boost the detergency of surfactants; can be added to emulsions, including lubricants and polishes to minimize the effects of hardness ions and polyvalent metals salts.
