Chelating Agents Market Overview

Chelating agents play an important role in photosynthesis and oxygen transport in biological processes. In addition, several biological catalysts are chelates. Commercially, the global chelating agents market is economically important in form of products besides the production of other chemicals. A chelating agent is capable of forming several bonds in a single metal ion allowing it to become a multidentate ligand. For example, ethylenediamine can be referred to as a chelate.

Chelating Agents Growth Factors

Chelating agents are amongst the chemical compounds reacting for forming a water-soluble, stable complex, that too, with the metal ions. At times, they have also termed chelators, chelants, or sequestering agents. The cleaning and detergent and pulp & paper industries are the major drivers of the chelating agents market. Plus, fast industrialization, which asks for water treatment chemicals, is another one. As such, there is a soaring demand for cleaning formulations like all-purpose cleaners, surface cleaners, disinfectants, and cleansers.

Chelating agents are high-performance chemical compounds which form complexes with metal ions or other substrates. Chelating agents are also known as sequestering or chelators agents. Chelating agents are mainly used to treat metal poisoning. Different types of chelating agent include APCA, organophosphonates and gluconates. Chelating agents have an important role in the manufacturing process of a wide range of industrial and household cleaning products, such as liquid washing soaps, surface cleaners, sprays, detergents, and granules.
