Product Information

• Name: EDTA ferric ammonium
• Synonyms: Ammonium ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: EDTA ferric ammonium is a metal complex that is used in the manufacture of textile dyes. EDTA ferric ammonium is an oxidizing agent that can be used as a reducing agent by adding an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate. The solution form of this compound has a particle size distribution with a median particle size of about 0.5 micrometers and a polydispersity index of about 2. In addition, it has been shown to have surfactant properties, which may be due to its ability to interact with the surface tension of water molecules. EDTA ferric ammonium has also been shown to react with silver ions to form silver ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (AgEDTA), which can then be used for patterning purposes in textiles.
