SR-608 Sequestering Agent

A sequestering agent is a chemical compound that has the ability to bind and isolate metal ions, preventing them from interfering with a chemical process or causing unwanted reactions.

Sequestering agents are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and household applications such as detergents, cleaners, and water treatment to control the presence of metal ions. They can help to improve the effectiveness of cleaning products and prevent the negative effects of metal ions on the quality of water. Common sequestering agents include EDTA, citric acid, and phosphates. It helps to separate and suspend particles in a medium, such as a liquid or gas, preventing them from clumping together and facilitating their dispersion. Dispersing agents are commonly used in various industries, including paints, coatings, inks, and ceramics, to improve the stability and uniformity of the dispersed particles. They can enhance the production process and the quality of the final products by promoting even distribution and preventing settling or agglomeration. Surfactants, polymers, and various types of stabilizing agents are often employed as dispersing agents.
