Features Of BASF Trilon BX Chelating Agent

  1. Highly effective chelator for multivalent metal ions including Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe²⁺/³⁺, Cu²⁺, and Mn²⁺.

  2. Excellent stability across a broad pH range (pH 2–12), ensuring consistent performance in diverse process conditions.

  3. Biodegradable formulation compliant with OECD 301B standards, supporting sustainable industrial water treatment.

  4. Low toxicity profile and non-corrosive to common process equipment materials such as stainless steel and carbon steel.

  5. Compatible with oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide and chlorine-based disinfectants, enabling integration into bleaching and sanitization processes.

Typical Applications Of BASF Trilon BX Chelating Agent

  1. Textile processing — for sequestering hardness ions during dyeing, printing, and bleaching to prevent staining and improve color yield.

  2. Pulp and paper manufacturing — to control transition metal catalysis in hydrogen peroxide bleaching and inhibit discoloration.

  3. Industrial cleaning formulations — as a key ingredient in alkaline cleaners for boilers, heat exchangers, and CIP systems.

  4. Electroplating and metal finishing — to stabilize bath chemistry and prevent precipitation of metal hydroxides.

  5. Food & beverage processing — for equipment cleaning and sanitization where metal ion interference must be minimized.
