Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
Octaquest E 30 is a biodegradable chelating agent that is special in the fact that it is very selective towards problematic transition metals such as Cu and Fe compared to Ca and Mg.
This makes Octaquest E 30 ideal in personal care formulations as it is tackling these problematic transition metals first while in the formulation, but still giving hard water control when released into water.
This gives Octaquest E 30 the benefit of excellent anti-oxidant properties and foam preservation in shampoos and conditioners.
Functions of Octaquest E 30:
-Chelating Agent
-Stabilizer-Perfume
-Stabilizer-Peroxide
Octaquest E 30 is a synthetically produced biodegradable chelating agent which is a good alternative to conventional EDTA.
This 37% active, pale clear liquid, Octaquest E 30, is a unique, readily biodegradable chelating agent.
Octaquest E 30 is effective as a preservative potentiator and antioxidant in formulations.
Origin(s): Plant/Botanical
Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate.
Octaquest E 30 is an unique readily biodegradable chelating agent.
Octaquest E 30 is effective as a preservative potentiator and antioxidant with 37% active content in formulations.
Octaquest E 30 prevents discoloration and malodor and reduces the effect of water hardness.
Octaquest E 30 is ideal for wash-off applications.
Octaquest E 30 is suitable for use in personal care products.
Chelating agents, such as EDDS and EDTA play a crucial role in the stability and efficacy of personal care formulations.
- Anti-oxidant
- Peroxide stabilisation
- Biocide potentiator
- Reducing water hardness
Anti-Oxidant:
Metal ions can react with oxygen in the air to form radicals and other reactive species that can lead to discolouration and odours.
Even in trace amounts metal ions can cause side reactions and so it is vital for the formulator to bind these up with a chelating agent.
Metal ions such as Fe and Cu can be introduced into formulations through raw materials, particularly water, from the air or from plant equipment.
Peroxide Stabilisation:
In peroxide formulations, metal ions react with the peroxide causing the peroxide to decompose and for radicals to be generated.
Chelants work by binding to metal ions in formulations and so prevent these ions causing these side reactions.
This gives formulations greater stability and longer shelf life.
Biocide Potentiation:
Biocides and preservatives are potent additives that are designed to kill unwanted bacteria in formulations.
Bacteria can be introduced at low levels during manufacture of formulations or at higher levels when opened or touched by the consumer.
Chelating agents have been found to enhance the activity of biocides and so allows significantly lower levels of biocides to be used.
This is good for the consumer as Octaquest E 30 reduces the levels of active chemicals that can cause irritation or sensitisation.
This is good for the environment as Octaquest E 30 reduces the amount of biocide released into waste water.
This is also good for the manufacturer as Octaquest E 30 reduces their costs.
Reducing Water Hardness:
Water hardness ions such as Ca and Mg reduce the effectiveness of surfactants in cleansing products leading to poor foam quality and poor cleaning.
Chelants bind up these ions from tap water and help enhance the performance of surfactants.

Natrlquest performance in personal care formulations:
Metal Chelation:
Octaquest E 30 can complex a range of metal ions over a broad pH as shown below.
The maximum chelation occurs approximately in the centre of the pH range at around pH7 – that of water.
Octaquest E 30 is special in the fact that it is very selective towards problematic transition metals such as Cu and Fe compared to Ca and Mg.
This makes Octaquest E 30 ideal in personal care formulations as it is tackling these problematic transition metals first while in the formulation, but still giving hard water control when released into water.
This gives Octaquest E 30 the benefit of excellent anti-oxidant properties and foam preservation in shampoos and conditioners.
Peroxide Stabilisation of Octaquest E 30:
Octaquest E 30 is used commercially in peroxide based products.
Octaquest E 30 is much better, for instance, in stabilising peroxide against decomposition by iron compared with alternative biodegradable chelants.
Biocide Potentiation of Octaquest E 30:
Octaquest E 30 is used to enhance the activity of preservatives in personal care formulations, improving efficacy and allowing the level to be reduced.
Octaquest E 30 is not a preservative by itself.
Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurements demonstrate the effect.
