Baypure® CX: Biodegradable and Non-Toxic Chelating Agent

Biodegradable, non-toxic chelating agent. Chelating agents are used in detergents, agricultural nutrients, and household and industrial cleaners. Traditional chelating agents are not biodegradable and readily dissolve in water. This novel chelating agent is biodegradable and non-toxic. The process only requires water, maleic anhydride, sodium hydroxide, and ammonia.
