Physical State / Form
Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid is a colorless crystalline solid. It is slightly soluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used in chemical analysis, to make detergents and cleaning compounds, and for many other uses.; CID-6049; CID-962
Density
0.86 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Less dense than water; will float; CID-962
Melting Point
237 °C
pH Value
Not available from PubChem; verify from SDS / COA if applicable.
Shelf Life
Generally, EDTA is stable as a solid and in aqueous solution. Only strong oxidizing agents can attack it chemically. The stability of EDTA-metal chelates increases according to the order: Na+ <Ca2+ < Fe2+ < Co2+ <Zn2+ < Cu2+ < Pb2+ < Fe3+; CID-6049
Separated from strong oxidants, metals and food and feedstuffs.
Chelating agents, by their very nature, tend to be corrosive to metals such as copper, zinc, and iron. The alkaline salts corrode aluminum severely, and contact with these salts should be avoided. Stainless steel and most polymers or coatings that are able to withstand dilute alkali are acceptable as construction materials. Solid chelating agents should be stored in a cool, dry place to avoid caking. /Chelating agent... Store at 25 °C (77 °F) with excursions permitted between 15 to 30 °C (59 to 86 °F).
