Applications of MGDA

MGDA (Sequadol® 40%) has a wide range of applications across various sectors, including household cleaning, industrial and institutional cleaning, the paper and pulp industry, and the textile industry. Concrete examples of MGDA applications are described below.

Automatic Dishwashing

Using MGDA in household dishwashing formulas has numerous advantages. MGDA functions as an effective chelating agent by binding minerals like calcium and magnesium. This prevents the accumulation of these minerals on dishes and in the machine, leading to improved overall cleaning performance. The chelating properties of MGDA enable dishwasher detergents to work more effectively, even at low temperatures. Not only is MGDA energy-efficient, but it also ensures the elimination of the toughest stains without the need for bleach.

Detergents

MGDA is frequently included in detergent formulations because of its many advantages. One of the main benefits of using a powerful chelate like MGDA for laundry cleaning is its ability to improve stain removal and protect colours. MGDA effectively binds calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, reducing water hardness and improving cleaning performance. This leads to the thorough removal of tough stains, resulting in cleaner clothes. Additionally, MGDA performs well at lower wash temperatures, enabling users to save energy.

Surface cleaning

MGDA is great for household surface cleaning and is commonly found in all-purpose cleaners, dishwasher detergents, and disinfectants. In small amounts, MGDA helps stabilise the cleaning solution, while using higher doses makes it easier to remove dirt, soap scum, and limescale without needing harsh chemicals.

Mechanical dishwashing

In mechanical dishwashing, MGDA prevents limescale buildup on dishes and machines, thus improving the efficiency of dishwashing systems. It is also more environmentally friendly than alternative chelates like NTA and EDTA and can effectively replace these substances. MGDA works well in a wide pH range and is biodegradable.

Cleaning in place (CIP)

MGDA is an excellent choice for cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems, which are widely utilised in the food and beverage industry. It effectively prevents scale formation in pipes and tanks, thereby enhancing the efficiency of CIP cleaning processes. MGDA is biodegradable and more environmentally friendly than other chelating agents like EDTA.

Transport cleaning

MGDA is essential for effectively removing and preventing dirt and mineral deposits in vehicles. Its eco-friendly and rapidly degradable properties make MGDA a more sustainable alternative to traditional cleaners while still powerful enough to eliminate stubborn dirt. Additionally, MGDA allows for the creation of highly concentrated cleaning formulations.

Cleaning hard surfaces

MGDA is highly effective for cleaning hard surfaces in industrial and institutional settings. It acts as a potent chelating agent, removing hardness ions from water and boosting the effectiveness of cleaning agents. This allows for quick removal of dirt without requiring extensive mechanical action. MGDA helps eliminate dirt, grease, and mineral deposits, even on challenging surfaces such as stainless steel or tiles.

Detergents

In institutional laundries, MGDA provides an excellent solution for enhancing detergent efficiency. It improves detergent foam and enhances dirt removal, even in hard water. The use of MGDA results in cleaner textiles and prolongs machine life by preventing limescale buildup in washing machines. Thanks to its strong detergent properties, MGDA enables washing at lower temperatures and with reduced mechanical action.

Textile industry

In the textile industry, MGDA is used to bind metal ions that can impact colour and textile quality. Its application offers numerous advantages in this sector. For example, it improves colour fastness by preventing dye bleeding and stabilises the dyeing process by eliminating disruptive metal ions. Additionally, MGDA enhances the performance of textile softeners by reducing water hardness. It also helps maintain the structure and strength of textile fibres, thereby increasing fabric durability.

Paper and pulp industry

In the paper and pulp industry, MGDA enhances the quality and whiteness of paper by binding metal ions. It contributes to brighter paper by boosting the effectiveness of bleaching agents and stabilises the bleaching process, ensuring more consistent production results. Furthermore, MGDA can prolong equipment life by preventing corrosion.
