Import Etheylenediaminetetraacetic Acid — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in South Africa

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA, is a chelating agent supplied by Akaba B2B Trading in powder form with a purity grade of 99% minimum, as indicated in the product listing. The compound is typically presented as a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 292.24 g/mol and a CAS number of 60-00-4. It is packaged in 25kg HDPE drums with inner polyethylene liners to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.

This grade of EDTA conforms to standard industrial specifications for metal sequestration and is commonly used in water treatment, electroplating, and industrial cleaning applications. The material is not certified as pharmaceutical grade and is not intended for food or medical use. Typical impurities include trace heavy metals, which are controlled within limits defined by ASTM D1193 Type IV reagent standards. It is stable under dry storage conditions and should be kept away from strong oxidizing agents.

Buyers in South Africa and regional markets use this EDTA for boiler water treatment, textile dyeing processes, and as a stabilizer in electroplating baths. The supplier does not list minimum order quantities or lead times. Trade terms are not specified in the listing. Buyers should request confirmation of packaging options, batch-specific certificates of analysis, and shipping documentation before placing an order.

Akaba B2B Trading operates as an importer and distributor of industrial chemicals in South Africa, with no public factory or manufacturing footprint disclosed. The listing shows a harbor-tier trust signal, indicating the supplier has completed basic verification through the platform’s logistics partner network. There is no information provided on company history, staff size, revenue, or client list.

The supplier’s description mentions handling a broad range of chemicals including electroplating agents, water treatment compounds, and powder coating materials, but does not confirm direct production or formulation. Response metrics show zero response rate and zero average response hours, suggesting limited buyer communication capability. Buyers should treat this as a trading entity, not a manufacturer, and verify batch consistency and supply reliability directly.
