DISSOLVINE® M-X

Chemical name: Methylglycine N,N-diacetic acid, trisodium salt

INCI name: Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate

Household cleaning:

• Dissolvine® M-X effectively replaces phosphorous containing builders in dishwashing detergents.
• It enhances the cleaning power of a cleaner / detergent by sequestering the metal ions like Ca and Mg.
• It prevents the deactivation of surfactants from hard water metal ions.

Industrial & Institutional cleaning

• Dissolvine® M-X forms stable, water-soluble metal complexes with all potentially harmful metal ions.
• It dissolves existing and prevents new scales from causing problems in water circulation equipment (in e.g. the power, brewing, and sugar industries).
• Because of its low molecular weight this chelate performs very well in short contact cleaning.

Metal treatment

• Dissolvine® M-X is very suitable as a metal carrier, a stabilizer of process baths and for neutralizing trace impurities.
• It can be used in e.g. alkaline Zinc and electroless Copper plating.

Polymer processing

• Dissolvine® M-X acts as a carrier of heavy metal ions.
• It also conserves natural rubber lattices by deactivating metal ion impurities that can catalyze decomposition.

Textile industry

• Dissolvine® M-X complexes the transition metal ions that would otherwise catalyze the decomposition of the peroxide bleaching agent.
• It also improves the performance of dye baths, where hard water metal ions like Ca and Mg inhibit dye from penetrating into the fiber.

Printing inks

• Dissolvine® M-X can be used to overcome the formation of insoluble resin soaps in water thinned inks (which may cause unwanted discoloration) resulting in clear and color-stable inks.
