Ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (abbreviated as Disodium EDTA) is used in several industrial applications attributing to its high ability to bind to most of metal cations. Disodium EDTA is produced as several salts, e.g. ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid disodium salt (Disodium EDTAS). Disodium EDTA and its salts are used as chelating agents in cosmetic formulations. Disodium EDTAS is a preservative, sequestrant, and stabilizer in foods. Disodium EDTA is added to ascorbic acid-disodium benzoate containing soft drinks to mitigate the formation of benzene. Disodium EDTA and its salts are used as a component in the production of food-contact paper and paperboard. Disodium EDTAS is permitted in the feed and drinking water of animals and/or for the treatment of food-producing animals. In the textile industry, Disodium EDTA and its salts prevent metal ion impurities from changing colors of dyed products. In the pulp and paper industry, Disodium EDTA and its salts inhibit the ability of metal ions from catalyzing the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide (a typical bleaching agent).  Disodium edentate behaves as a weak acid, displacing carbon dioxide from carbonates and reacting with metals to form hydrogen. It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, metal ions, and metal alloys.
Additives may be incompatible with the reconstituted (diluted) solution required for intravenous infusion. Consult with pharmacist, if available. When introducing additives, use aseptic technique, mix thoroughly and do not store.

As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their continued use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines newer health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether the use of the pesticide does not pose unreasonable risk in accordance to newer saftey standards, such as those described in the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Pesticides for which EPA had not issued Registration Standards prior to the effective date of FIFRA '88 were divided into three lists based upon their potential for human exposure and other factors, with List B containing pesticides of greater concern than those on List C, and with List C containing pesticides of greater concern than those on List D.

Disodium EDTA is used in synthetic rubber manufacture. Disodium EDTA is also used as a corrosion inhibitor to carbon steel in the industries. As an anticoagulant, Disodium EDTAS and tripotassium salts of Disodium EDTA are most commonly used. Disodium EDTA occurs as a white crystalline, odorless powder with a slightly acidic taste. Disodium Dihydrogen Disodium EDTA is a sequestrant and chelating agent whose complete name is disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate. it is a nonhygroscopic powder that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless at recommended use levels. A 1% solution has a ph of 4.3–4.7. It is used to control the reaction of trace metals to include calcium and magnesium with other organic and inorganic components in food to prevent deterioration of color, texture, and development of precipitates and to prevent oxidation. Its function is comparable to that of disodium calcium Disodium EDTA. 10 mols of ethylene diamine as a 30% aqueous solution and 4 mols of solid caustic soda are placed in a steam heated kettle supplied with an agitator. 8 mols of sodium cyanide as a concentrated water solution (about 30%) are added and the solution heated to 60°C. About a 10 inch vacuum is applied to bring the liquid to incipient boiling. Formaldehyde (7.5 mols of 37% to 40% aqueous solution) is slowly added, the temperature being held at 60°C, and the solution vigorously stirred. Then, when the evolution of ammonia has substantially stopped, an additional 8 mols of sodium cyanide, followed by 8 mols of formaldehyde are added as before.

This is continued until 40 mols of cyanide and 40 mols of formaldehyde have been added. Then at the end about 2 mols more of formaldehyde are added, making 42 mols in all, to remove any last traces of cyanide. About 8 to 10 hours are required to complete the reaction. The resulting product, referred to herein as the crude reaction product, is essentially an aqueous solution of the sodium salt of ethylene diamine tetracetic acid. To 1,000 g of the crude reaction product are added 264 g of ethylene diamine tetracetic acid. The mixture is preferably heated to incipient boiling to increase the rate of reaction, and then the mixture is allowed to cool and crystallize. The crystals formed are filtered off, washed with the smallest possible amount of ice water, and dried to a constant weight, which is 452 g. A representative sample of the product so prepared showed, upon analysis, 13.26% sodium against a theoretical of 13.70% for the disodium salt. The dialkali salt has a pH of about 5.3 and behaves like a weak acid, displacing CO2 from carbonates and reacting with metals to form hydrogen. It is a white crystalline solid. Disodium EDTA is used as a chelating agent in a wide range of pharmaceutical preparations, including mouthwashes, ophthalmic preparations, and topical preparations, typically at concentrations between 0.005 and 0.1% w/v.

Disodium EDTA forms stable water-soluble complexes (chelates) with alkaline earth and heavy-metal ions. The chelated form has few of the properties of the free ion, and for this reason chelating agents are often described as ‘removing’ ions from solution, a process known as sequestering. The stability of the metal–EDTA complex is dependent on the metal ion involved and the pH. DisodiumE EDTA is also used as a water softener as it will chelate calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water. It is also used therapeutically as an anticoagulant as it will chelate calcium and prevent the coagulation of blood in vitro. Concentrations of 0.1% w/v are used in small volumes for hematological testing and 0.3% w/v in transfusions. Poison by intraperitoneal and intravenous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. The calcium disodium salt of Disodium EDTA is used as a chelating agent in treating lead poisoning. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx and NasO.

Disodium EDTA, trisodium EDTA, and edetic acid readily chelate calcium and can, in large doses, cause calcium depletion (hypocalcemia) if used over an extended period of time, or if administered too rapidly by intravenous infusion. If used in preparations for the mouth, they can also leach calcium from the teeth. However, EDTA calcium disodium does not chelate calcium.
Disodium EDTA should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment, tuberculosis, and impaired cardiac function.
Although Disodium EDTA is generally considered safe, there have been reports of Disodium EDTA toxicity in patients receiving chelation therapy.  All of the industrially used methods of manufacture of Disodium EDTA and its salts involve the addition of formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide or an alkali metal cyanide to an aqueous solution of Disodium EDTA. The salts, or EDTAs, are then formed by hydrolysis. Disodium EDTA can also be formed by heating tetrahydroxyethylethylenediamine with sodium or potassium hydroxide using a cadmium oxide catalyst.

 Disodium EDTA was prepared by dissolving Disodium EDTA into a hot solution that contained two equivalents of sodium hydroxide. The solution was then allowed to crystallize. Disodium EDTA is not expected to contain pesticides, 1,4-dioxane, free ethylene oxide, monochloroacetic acid, sulfite, organic solvents, nitrosamines, or other substances. The maximum concentration of heavy metals and formaldehyde is 10 ppm and 100 ppm, respectively. Disodium EDTA is a substituted diamine. It contains 76.0% to 77.5% Disodium EDTA. When dried, the cosmetic-grade material contains not less than 99.0% of Disodium EDTA. The pharmaceutical-grade material contains not less than 99.0% and not more than 101.0% /disodium Disodium EDTA/, calculated on a dried basis.

Nasal formulations containing benzalkonium chloride and Disodium EDTA, both known to be local irritants, were shown to produce an inflammatory reaction, and microscopic examination showed an extended infiltration of the mucosa by eosinophils, and pronounced atrophy and disorganization of the epithelium, although these effects were subsequently shown to be reversible. Disodium EDTA (Sodium Disodium EDTA) is a chelating agent that is also used to stop the melting effect of collagenases and proteases on the cornea. Disodium EDTA is useful in halting melting through inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases, but is not felt to be useful for melting caused by infectious agents. As the effect of Disodium EDTA on metalloproteinases is reversible, it must be administered several times daily to be effective. EDTA salts are more stable than edetic acid (see also Edetic acid). However, Disodium EDTA dihydrate loses water of crystallization when heated to 120°C. Aqueous solutions of Disodium EDTA may be sterilized by autoclaving, and should be stored in an alkali-free container.

Disodium EDTA is hygroscopic and is unstable when exposed to moisture. It should be stored in a well-closed container in a cool, dry place. Disodium EDTA is used to hold metal ions in the laboratory. Biochemistry and molecular biology are used as a consumer against enzymes. In analytical chemistry, complexometric titration is used in water hardness masking agents analysis. It is a popular food additive used as a preservative and flavoring. Calcium disodium Disodium EDTA works as a chelating agent. This means it binds to metals and prevents them from participating in chemical reactions that could cause discoloration or flavor loss. Disodium EDTA is used to hold metal ions in the laboratory.

Often used as a trap (calcium, limestone) in soaps or shower gels, this allows "hard" water to be managed. EDTA is most commonly used to determine the hardness (ie Calcium and Magnesium ions) in water; here the pH should be about 10 and is usually controlled by adding a buffer such as Water Hardness Buffer. For determination of hardness or Calcium using EDTA, Water Hardness Indicator (Eriochrome Black T), Eriochrome Blue Black R, Calmagite and Murexide are used. Disodium EDTA is previously registered in the USA for use as a disinfectant and component of contact lens solutions. Disodium EDTA is used as a preservative, color retention agent, antioxidant, flavoring for foods, anticoagulant for blood collection and chelating agent in personal care products. Disodium EDTA is also used in the pulp and paper industry, in laboratory titrimetric analysis of metals, and as a therapeutic chelating agent.
