Product Description

HEDP 60% Liquid

HEDP is a superior phosphonic acid chelating agent based on its hydrolytic stability and its superior ability to act as an anti-scaling and sequestering agent.

Synthesis / Manufacturing Process of HEDP The primary raw materials used to manufacture HEDP are acetic anhydride and either phosphorus acid or phosphorus Trichloride. The phosphorus trichloride is converted to phosphorus acid within the reaction vessel, and then reacts with the acetic anhydride.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEDP used for?

Industries. In the detergent, water treatment, metallurgy, and dyeing industries, HEDP is employed as a chelating agent (particularly for metal ions like Fe, Cu, and Zn), corrosion inhibitor, and stabilising agent (water hardness, peroxides).

What is HEDP 60%?

The Biphosphonic Acid Group's HEDP is a 60% active aqueous solution. It is ideally suited for water treatment because it is extremely water soluble and stable under adverse conditions.

What is full form of HEDP?

Etidronic acid, also known as hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid, is the best complexing agent for metal ions in applications involving water treatment.

What is HEDP in water treatment?

Etidronic acid, another name for the phosphonate HEDP, is a great chelating agent and stabiliser of water hardness that is used in both domestic and industrial settings. Due to these characteristics, the chemical is able to handle cooling water and make detergent with remarkable results.
