Manufacturer of EDTA Chemicals & Chelated Micronutrients

Why EDTA and Chelated Micronutrients Matter

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid-universally known as EDTA-is one of the most versatile and widely used chelating agents in the world. Its ability to form stable, soluble complexes with metal ions makes it indispensable in agriculture, industrial water treatment, food processing, pharmaceuticals, detergents, and personal care manufacturing. When EDTA binds a metal ion such as zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium, copper, or manganese, the resulting complex is called a chelate-a compound that keeps the metal bioavailable, stable across a wide pH range, and protected from precipitation or antagonism by other soil or water constituents.

Shivam Agro Industries, based in India, has built over two decades of expertise in manufacturing and exporting EDTA chemicals and chelated micronutrients to agricultural, industrial, and pharmaceutical customers across India and international markets. This comprehensive product guide introduces every major product category offered by Shivam Agro Industries, explaining the chemistry, applications, and benefits of each.

EDTA Acid (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) - The Foundation

EDTA Acid is the parent compound from which all EDTA salts and chelates are derived. It is a white crystalline powder, practically insoluble in water in its free acid form, with a molecular weight of 292.24 g/mol and the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₆N₂O₈. Four carboxylate groups and two amine nitrogen atoms give EDTA its extraordinary chelating power, enabling it to form hexadentate (six-ligand) complexes with divalent and trivalent metal ions.

Shivam Agro Industries manufactures EDTA Acid (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) to pharmaceutical, food, and industrial grades, and supplies it in bulk to manufacturers who use it as a raw material for producing EDTA salts, chelated fertilizers, preservatives, and industrial cleaners.

EDTA Disodium & Tetrasodium: Role in Fertilizer Formulation & Water Treatment

EDTA Disodium - The Versatile Industrial & Agricultural Salt

mildly alkaline solution. With a chelation capacity that covers calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and many other metals, EDTA Disodium is the workhorse of the chelating agent industry.

Shivam Agro Industries is a prominent EDTA Disodium manufacturer and exporter in India, supplying this product across agriculture, food processing, pharmaceuticals, textile, pulp and paper, and industrial water treatment sectors.

Applications of EDTA Disodium

Agriculture: Formulation of chelated micronutrient fertilizers. EDTA Disodium acts as the chelating carrier that keeps zinc, iron, manganese, copper, and magnesium in plant-available form in fertilizer blends.

EDTA Disodium Key Applications Industry Agriculture

Water treatment: Sequestration of calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, preventing scale formation in boilers, cooling towers, and heat exchangers.
Detergents and cleaning products: Chelation of metal ions that would otherwise reduce the efficiency of surfactants and bleaching agents in industrial and household cleaners.
Food industry: Approved sequestrant (INS 386) that preserves colour, flavour, and freshness in canned and processed foods by deactivating trace metals that catalyse oxidation and rancidity.
Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics: Chelating agent in eye drops, topical formulations, and personal care products to improve stability and antimicrobial efficacy.

EDTA Tetrasodium - Maximum Solubility for High-pH Applications

EDTA Tetrasodium (tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate; Na₄EDTA) is the fully neutralised sodium salt of EDTA, produced by reacting EDTA Acid with four equivalents of sodium hydroxide. It is highly water soluble, forms strongly alkaline solutions, and is particularly effective as a sequestrant in alkaline industrial processes.
Shivam Agro Industries manufactures and exports EDTA Tetrasodium for use in industrial cleaning, textile processing, electroplating, pulp and paper manufacturing, and as a chelating builder in high-pH detergent formulations.

Key Differences: EDTA Disodium vs. EDTA Tetrasodium

Solubility: EDTA Tetrasodium is more water soluble than EDTA Disodium-important for high-concentration formulations.
pH: EDTA Tetrasodium solutions are more strongly alkaline, making it the preferred form for alkaline industrial processes.

Agricultural use: EDTA Disodium is generally preferred for chelated fertilizer formulation due to its lower pH and compatibility with agricultural tank mixes.

Chelated Micronutrients for Agriculture - The Core Agricultural Product Range

The agricultural chelated micronutrient range from Shivam Agro Industries addresses the seven key trace elements that are most commonly deficient in modern agricultural soils: zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, manganese, and their combinations. Each chelated micronutrient is produced by reacting a soluble metal salt with EDTA Acid or Na₂EDTA under controlled conditions to form a stable, fully water-soluble chelate complex.

EDTA Zinc (Chelated Zinc / Zinc EDTA 12%)

Zinc is the micronutrient most frequently deficient in Indian and global agricultural soils. EDTA Zinc (chelated zinc) from Shivam Agro Industries provides 12% water-soluble zinc in a stable EDTA chelate form. Unlike zinc sulphate, which can precipitate in alkaline soils, EDTA Zinc remains plant available across a soil pH range of 4 to 7.5. It is used via foliar spray, fertigation, and soil drench to correct zinc deficiency in rice, wheat, maize, cotton, vegetables, and fruit crops.

EDTA Calcium (Chelated Calcium / Ca-EDTA 10%)

Calcium is a secondary macronutrient critical for cell wall formation, membrane integrity, and enzyme function. EDTA Calcium from Shivam Agro Industries contains 10% water-soluble calcium in a chelated form that can be absorbed through leaf surfaces and root systems. It is widely used to prevent and correct calcium deficiency disorders: blossom end rot in tomatoes, bitter pit in apples, tip burn in lettuce, and internal browning in cruciferous vegetables.

EDTA Magnesium (Chelated Magnesium / Mg-EDTA 6%)

Magnesium is the central atom of the chlorophyll molecule, making it indispensable for photosynthesis. EDTA Magnesium from Shivam Agro Industries supplies 6% chelated magnesium that remains soluble and plant available in alkaline and high-calcium soils where magnesium antagonism is common. It corrects interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between leaf veins) in older leaves-the classic visual symptom of magnesium deficiency.

EDTA Copper (Chelated Copper / Cu-EDTA 15%)

Copper plays essential roles in photosynthesis, lignin synthesis, and plant immune function. EDTA Copper from Shivam Agro Industries contains 15% chelated copper and is effective for correcting copper deficiency in organic soils, sandy soils, and high-pH soils where copper becomes unavailable. It is applied as a foliar spray or through fertigation systems in fruit orchards, cereals, and vegetable crops.

EDTA Manganese (Chelated Manganese / Mn-EDTA 12%)

Manganese is essential for the oxygen-evolving reaction of photosynthesis and activates many enzymes in plant metabolism. EDTA Manganese from Shivam Agro Industries supplies 12% chelated manganese and is used to correct manganese deficiency in alkaline, calcareous, and waterlogged soils. It prevents grey speck in oats, marsh spot in peas, and the characteristic interveinal chlorosis of young leaves in many crop species.

EDTA Ferric / Fe EDTA (Chelated Iron 12%)

Iron is required for chlorophyll biosynthesis, electron transport in photosynthesis, and nitrogen fixation. EDTA Ferric (Fe-EDTA) from Shivam Agro Industries provides 12% chelated iron (Fe³⁺) and is effective for correcting iron deficiency chlorosis in crops grown on neutral to mildly alkaline soils. For severely alkaline or calcareous soils where iron chlorosis is extreme, Shivam Agro Industries also supplies Fe EDDHA (Iron EDDHA 6%), which provides superior iron chelate stability at high pH.
