Methyl Glycine Diacetic Acid Trisodium Salt Plant (MGDA-NA3)

Methyl Glycine Diacetic Acid Trisodium Salt (MGDA) is a new type of non-phosphorus green degradable chelating agent, used to replace traditional phosphonates, EDTA, NTA. Those traditional cherating agent have faced restriction in some countries and others in the European Union due to its slow biodegradability. As a green chelating agent and sustainable option for chelation, it has high effective to control water hardness and chelating metal ion like magnesium and calcium. There is multiple bonding sites on the MGDA molecule that interact with the metal ion, creating a stable and soluble complex.

Application of MGDA

1. Fabric detergent In heavy-duty laundry: to remove the stain and
2. Household Cleaning Products: to bind with metal ions present in hard water, enhancing cleaning efficiency.
3. Industrial Cleaning Agents: to remove mineral deposits and scale from equipment surfaces
4. Water Treatment: to control metal ions’ presence
5. Personal Care Products: to enhance the stability and effectiveness of the formulations
6. Agricultural Chemicals: to improve the effectiveness and stability of pesticides
7. Oil and Gas Industry: to chelate metal ions that cause corrosion in pipelines and equipment.
8. Food and Beverage Industry: to stabilize formulations and control metal ions’ effects on product quality

MGDA-NA3 plant by our technology covered both HCN method and MCAA method. From both the process, Synopsis Chemitech can completely build a chemical complex which including Sodium Cyanide, Alanine, Mono-Chloroacetic Acid (MCAA), Chlor-Alkali Plant. Chlor-Alkali Plant to produce Cl2, NaOH and H2, and supply to MGDA Plant for internal supply chains. Alanine to be build separately if required. The technology that built by Synopsis Chemitech were based on our own special formulas and controlled by DCS.
Our own unique technology with strong competitiveness and the product quality with lowest consumption.
