Medical Use: Edetate Calcium Disodium is used in medicine as a chelating agent to treat heavy metal poisoning, particularly lead poisoning. It forms complexes with toxic metal ions, making them easier for the body to excrete. It is also used in some medical imaging procedures, such as chelation therapy, to remove excess metal ions from the bloodstream.
Food and Beverage Industry: In the food industry, Edetate Calcium Disodium is used as a food additive (E385) to prevent discoloration and off-flavors caused by metal ions in certain processed foods and beverages. It is often added to canned and jarred foods to maintain product quality and appearance.
Pharmaceuticals: It is used as a stabilizing agent in some pharmaceutical formulations to prevent the oxidation of certain medications and extend their shelf life.
Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Edetate Calcium Disodium can be found in cosmetic and personal care products, including creams, lotions, and shampoos, to improve product stability and prevent metal ion-induced spoilage.
Water Treatment: In water treatment, it is used to sequester and remove metal ions that can interfere with water quality, cause scaling, or promote corrosion.
Analytical Chemistry: Edetate Calcium Disodium is employed in various chemical analyses and titrations to determine the concentration of metal ions in solutions.
Cleaning Products: It is used in some cleaning products, such as detergents and soaps, to improve their performance in hard water by chelating calcium and magnesium ions.
Photography: In the field of photography, it can be used to control the activity of metal ions in photographic chemicals.
