Chelating agent vs cationic surfactants
Posted by Abdullah on March 6, 2021 at 6:16 amCan we use chelating agents like tetrasodium EDTA or sodium phytate with cationic surfactants?

Depends.Some combinations may form insoluble salts, especially polymers.

I’ve never personally had any problems with disodium EDTA and behentrimonium/cetrimonium chloride.

@LincsChemist interesting.
Can it be because i am using tetrasodium EDTA?Btw i have some BTMS 25 and SPDMA. I will check with these two
Thanks ???? -
@”DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ” which one is stronger? gluconolactone or citric acid?

@LincsChemist today i did use EDTA with SPDMA and it formed insoluble salt before adding other ingredients.
