What is a Chelating Agent?
A chelating agent is a chemical compound that reacts with metal ions to form stable, water-soluble metal complexes. The agent has the ability to alter the chemical makeup of metal and therefore enhances the metal’s stability to bond with other substances.
There are many applications chelating agents are used, such as:
- Medical
- Corrosion control
- Water treatment
- Personal Care
