Disodium EDTA salt

EDTA disodium salt Na2H2 - 2H2O (dihydrate). EDTA disodium salt is mainly used for its ability to bind to metal ions precipitating lead and other metals in solution, often used as a chelating agent in aquaria. Together with iron sulphate heptahydrateis used to increase the amount of iron in aquariums.
