BASF Lutron Q75 N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Ethylenediamine – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Number for BASF Lutron Q75?

A: The CAS Registry Number is 67784-77-4.


Q2: What is the typical dosage range in industrial cleaning formulations?

A: Recommended dosage is 0.2–1.0 wt% active substance, depending on water hardness and target metal ion concentration; optimal performance is typically achieved at 0.5 wt% in medium-hardness water (200–300 ppm CaCO₃).


Q3: How does Lutron Q75 compare to EDTA or DTPA in terms of environmental profile?

A: Unlike EDTA and DTPA, Lutron Q75 features a readily biodegradable hydroxypropyl-ethylenediamine backbone (OECD 301D pass rate >60% in 28 days) and lacks persistent chelation of heavy metals in aerobic environments, reducing long-term ecotoxicity risk.


Q4: Is migration or extraction into food simulants a concern for indirect food contact applications?

A: Migration testing per EU Regulation (EC) No 10/2011 shows <0.01 mg/kg in 10% ethanol and 3% acetic acid food simulants at 40°C for 10 days — well below the overall migration limit (OML) of 10 mg/dm².
