H-Quest® L 50

CAS Number
31138-65-5
Chemical Name
Sodium glucoheptonate

H-Quest® L 50 sodium glucoheptonate has many industrial uses as a high-performance chelating agent. Its superior performance in the pH range between 9 and 14 is due to its efficiency in forming stable chelates with divalent and trivalent metal ions such as Ca+2, Mg+2, Fe+2, Fe+3, Zn+2, Al+3, etc.
