Methylglycine diacetic acid
Methylglycine diacetic acid (MGDA) is a next-generation, readily biodegradable chelating agent. It effectively binds to hard water and heavy metal ions (like calcium, magnesium, and iron). Widely used as a sustainable, eco-friendly replacement for phosphates and traditional chelators like EDTA, it is primarily found in detergents, cosmetics, and industrial cleaners.
