Chelating Agents
What is Chelating Agent?
A chelating agent is a compound that binds metal ions (e.g. calcium, magnesium, iron) into stable complexes; EDTA and similar agents sequester metals and prevent them from interfering with formulations.
What is the CAS number of Chelating Agent?
The CAS number of Chelating Agent is 60-00-4.
What is Chelating Agent used for?
Chelating agents are used in detergents to soften water and improve cleaning; in personal care to stabilize formulations; in industrial water treatment; in food and pharma; and in metal finishing and pulp and paper.

Chelating agents are specialty chemicals designed to bind and stabilize metal ions through a process known as chelation. In this process, organic molecules containing multiple bonding sites (such as amine, carboxyl, or phosphonate groups) form stable, water-soluble complexes with metal ions like calcium, magnesium, iron, and heavy metals. By sequestering these ions, chelating agents prevent unwanted reactions such as scale formation, metal-catalyzed degradation, precipitation, and discoloration. This makes them essential in water treatment, detergents, pulp and paper processing, textiles, agrochemicals, and industrial cleaning applications.
Venus Goa supplies a range of high-performance chelating solutions under the H-Quest™ series, including H-Quest™ HEDTA, H-Quest™ TSS, H-Quest™ C 100, and H-Quest™ L 50. These products are formulated to deliver effective metal ion control, improved process stability, and enhanced formulation performance across diverse industrial applications. Designed for efficiency and reliability, the H-Quest™ range supports industries requiring strong sequestration, scale inhibition, and metal deactivation properties.
| PRODUCT LINE | COMPOSITION | APPLICATION |
|---|---|---|
| H-Quest™ HEDTA | Hydroxyethyl Ethylene Diamine Triacetate (45%) | A chelating agent with unique properties. Ideal for Fe+3, control at low pH conditions (pH 8-10) where other chelants are less soluble. Applications include: scale-removal and prevention, water treatment, polymerization, and formulation of cleaning products. |
| H-Quest™ TSS | Trisodium Sulfosuccinate (50%) | An aqueous solution of Trisodium Sulfosuccinate. TSS is more effective in chelating polyvalent ions (Ca+2/Mg+2 etc.) in polyacryamide systems versus carboxylate based chelants. |
| H-Quest™ C 100 | Crystalline Sodium Glucoheptonate (100%) | Sodium glucoheptonate provides superior binding performance in the pH range 9 to 14. Forms stable chelates with di- and tri-valent metal ions such as Ca+2, Mg+2, Fe+2, Fe+3, Zn+2, Al+3, etc. Exceptional chelant for multi-valent iron. Alpha crystal form. |
| H-Quest™ L 50 | Liquid Sodium Glucoheptonate (50%) | Sodium glucoheptonate provides superior binding performance in the pH range 9 to 14. Forms stable chelates with di- and tri-valent metal ions such as Ca+2, Mg+2, Fe+2, Fe+3, Zn+2, Al+3, etc. Exceptional chelant for multi-valent iron. Alpha/Beta blend. |
