Applications :

NTA is a tripodal tetradentate trianionic ligand.The uses of NTA are similar to those of EDTA, both being chelating agents. It is used for water softening and as a replacement to sodium and potassium triphosphate in detergents, and cleansers.In one application, NTA as a chelating agent removes Cr, Cu, and As from wood that had been treated with chromated-copper arsenate. NTA is a Sequestering Agent, which is used in various Industries such as Pharmaceutical, Photography, Textile, Boiler Turbine scale removal, Agriculture as a Micronutrient for Plant Growth, Water Treatment, Laboratory Reagent, Food & Beverages, Cosmetics, Soaps & Detergents, etc. It is used for removing unwanted inorganic impurities present in the system, which helps in getting superior performance & cost saving.NTA is used as a metal compled in the manufacturer of copper Phthalocyanine.
