Detergent & Home Care Chemicals
Sodium citrate (chemical formula C6H5Na3O7) is a colorless or white crystalline granule or powder known for its excellent water solubility and biodegradability. Due to its superior chelating ability for calcium and magnesium ions, sodium citrate is widely used in household cleaning products, especially in phosphate-free detergents. It serves as a non-toxic detergent auxiliary, effectively replacing sodium tripolyphosphate.
