AkzoNobel Functional Chemicals presents Dissolvine® chelates
An essential ingredient in all cleaning formulations is the chelating agent. Chelating agents have a unique property; they can form soluble complexes with di- and tri- valent metals ions. In cleaning formulations this functionality enables them to:
• Remove scale
• Soften the water
• Boost the hygienic cleaning action
Our chelates Dissolvine® EDTA and Dissolvine® GL (GLDA) are excellent replacements for phosphates and NTA because they:
• Are completely phosphorous free
• Have a low (eco)-toxicity profile: No environmental symbol and/or risk phrases required!
• Have an excellent cost-performance ratio
On top of this Dissolvine® GL is:
• Readily biodegradable (OECD 301D)
• Based on a natural sustainable source
• In compliance with eco-labels like Nordic Swan, Euroflower, Blaue Engel, Umweltzeichen.
