Evermil GLDA-30 is a sustainable alternative to traditional EDTA, designed to neutralize metal ions that compromise product stability. As a “green” chelator (Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate), it effectively binds hard water ions (Calcium/Magnesium) and heavy metals (Iron/Copper) that would otherwise catalyze oxidation, cause discoloration, or feed microbial growth. Its high solubility and stability make it a versatile “workhorse” for eco-conscious personal care and home care formulations.
Key Benefit: A “Bio-Based Sequestrant” that out-performs phosphates and phosphonates, providing superior stability and biocidal boosting while being gentle on the human skin.
Performance & Environmental Impact
-
Superior Chelation: More effective at binding heavy metals than traditional phosphate-based agents, preventing the “peach” or “yellow” shifts common in products containing natural extracts.
-
Preservation Synergy: Acts as a potent biocidal booster by stripping essential metal ions from microbial cell walls, making them more susceptible to preservatives.
-
Readily Biodegradable: Confirmed by the Closed Bottle test, ensuring it does not persist in the environment or bioaccumulate in aquatic life.
-
High Solubility: Remains fully functional and clear across an exceptionally wide pH range, unlike some natural chelators that precipitate in acidic conditions.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
Evermil GLDA-30 is a robust liquid that simplifies the manufacturing of high-clarity aqueous systems.
