Tetrasodium glutamate is an organic salt synthesized from glutamic acid (an amino acid abundant in nature).
Tetrasodium glutamate usually appears as an odourless white powder that is soluble in water, and is used as a multi-purpose, clear, liquid chelating agent and preservative booster.
Tetrasodium glutamate is what's known as a 'chelating agent', an ingredient that inactivates metallic ions (charged particles) in product formulations.
Free roaming iron and copper ions in formulations can lead to rapid oxidation, meaning they will spoil quickly.
Using a chelating agent helps to slow this process, allowing for the creation of products with improved stability and appearance.
This also improves the effectiveness of preservative ingredients, allowing us to use a lower percentage of these, for safer shelf-stable products.
Tetrasodium glutamate is a high purity, versatile and readily biodegradable chelating agent based upon L-glutamic acid, a natural and renewable raw material.
Actives: 47-50%.
Excellent chelating effectiveness controlling metal catalyzed decomposition.
Reduces water hardness and prevents precipitations.
Boosts performance of preservatives improving shelf life.
Stabilizes the pH value and is effective in wide pH range.
Does not sensitize human skin.
Completely biodegradable as compared to phosphates and phosphonates.
Tetrasodium glutamate as a rinsing aid in several of our products because it temporarily reduces the surface tension of water.
This creates a sheeting effect and helps suds and grime rinse away quickly and completely.
Fewer water droplets left on surfaces reduces the need to rinse repeatedly to get soap off (and therefore reduces water consumption).

Benefits of Tetrasodium glutamate:
Tetrasodium glutamate works as a stabilizer in cosmetic formulations to preventing the natural discoloration of shampoos and gels.
Tetrasodium glutamate is used to enhance and preservative the formulation’s ingredients and also acts as a heavy metal chelating agent.
Tetrasodium glutamate is a chelating agent that binds to metal ions, inactivating them and helping to prevent their adverse effects on the stability or appearance of cosmetic products.
Tetrasodium glutamate also helps to maintain clarity, protect fragrance compounds and prevent rancidity.
Tetrasodium glutamate is used in bath soaps, detergents and non-spray deodorant product.
Applications of Tetrasodium glutamate:

Tetrasodium glutamate is a naturally and sustainably produced sequestrant derived from the Amino Acid Glutamic acid.
Tetrasodium glutamate has many uses from food to personal care products.
Common uses include:
-Shampoos Sequestering agent in shampoos & cleaners to improve stability
-Textile Industry Used to prevent metal ion impurities from modifying colors of dyed products

Tetrasodium glutamate is a powerful chelating agent made from natural, biodegradable, renewable raw materials.
Tetrasodium glutamate exhibits excellent metal chelation properties, high water solubility, stability over a wide pH range, and low ecotoxicity.
Tetrasodium glutamate is NTA free and also functions great as a preservative booster.
Tetrasodium glutamate bonds with metal ions in the water supply to prevent scale formation.
Soils form complexes with metal ions and bond to surfaces.
These bonds make cleaning and removing these soil-metal complexes difficult.
The strong chelating and dispersion properties of Tetrasodium glutamate facilitate the removal of metal ions from soils leading to a greatly improved cleaning performance.
Tetrasodium glutamate dispersion properties also keep soils suspended in the wash and rinse water, stopping re-deposition of the soil onto cleaned surfaces and insures easy rinsing in applications such as dishwashing.
Small quantities of Tetrasodium glutamate added to formulation can help stabilize the product and prevent discoloration.
Larger quantities will enhance cleaning ability and prevent deactivation of active ingredients during use.
Tetrasodium glutamate also reduces the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions resulting in better surfactant performance.
Tetrasodium glutamate is a biodegradable ingredient of mineral origin which is made by the aerobic fermentation of sugars and ammonia from L-glutamic acid.
Tetrasodium glutamate works as a stabiliser in cosmetic formulations to prevent the natural discoloration of soaps shampoos and gels.
Tetrasodium glutamate also acts as a chelating agent and is used to enhance and preserve the formulation’s ingredients.
