Features Of BASF Dispex Ultra FA 4404 Chelating Agent

  1. Highly effective sequestration of multivalent metal ions (e.g., Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺) across broad pH range (pH 4–12).

  2. Excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability, ensuring performance retention during high-temperature processing and long-term storage.

  3. Low foaming profile—ideal for applications requiring minimal foam generation in aqueous systems.

  4. Compatible with anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants, enabling flexible formulation design.

  5. Biodegradable and REACH-compliant, supporting sustainable industrial formulations.

Typical Applications Of BASF Dispex Ultra FA 4404 Chelating Agent

  1. Industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations, including hard-surface cleaners and disinfectant concentrates.

  2. Laundry detergents and liquid fabric softeners where water hardness control is critical.

  3. Paints and coatings—prevents metal-catalyzed pigment degradation and improves dispersion stability.

  4. Water treatment systems for boiler feedwater and cooling tower additives.

  5. Personal care products such as shampoos and body washes to enhance surfactant efficiency in hard water.
