What Does NTA Stand For?
NTA stands for Nitrilotriacetic Acid
Nitrilotriacetic Acid (NTA) is a chelating agent primarily used in various industrial applications, including metal ion sequestration, water treatment, and as a stabilizer in agricultural formulations. It effectively binds metal ions, enhancing solubility and preventing precipitation, which makes it useful in improving the performance of cleaning agents and detergents. NTA is also recognized for its environmentally friendly profile, as it is biodegradable compared to other chelators.
