Description

EDTA stands for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a chelating agent widely used to bind metal ions. EDTA itself is a weak acid, but it forms several salts with different cations that improve its solubility and usability in various applications. EDTA salts are ionic compounds formed by neutralizing EDTA with metal cations (like sodium, calcium, etc.). These salts are often more soluble and easier to use than EDTA in its pure acid form.
