Complexing Agents
BTC Europe sells and markets the full range of BASF complexing agents as well as selected complementary 3rd party complexing agents.
Application fields for complexing agents
BTC offers a wide variety of complexing agents with customised performance profiles for different application fields.
Highly effective, readily biodegradable
Trilon® A (nitrilotriacetic acid and its sodium salts)
The Trilon® A complexing agents form stable complexes. They are particularly effective for complexing Ca2 and Mg2 ions. These complexing agents are readily biodegradable.
Effective for heavy metal ions
Trilon® B types (ethylene diamintetraacetic acid Na- and NH4 salts)
The Trilon® B complexing agents form very stable complexes for almost all metal ions. They are particularly effective for chelating heavy metal ions such as iron, manganese and copper, etc. They can be used in a versatile range of applications.
The effective stabilizer for highest complex stability
Trilon® C types (diethylene triaminepentaacetic acid and its sodium salt)
The Trilon® C complexing agents form extremely stable complexes. They are particularly effective as stabilizers for H2O2 under alkaline conditions, such as in the pulp and paper industry.
The green product for metal complexation, readily biodegradable
Trilon® M types (methylglycine diacetic acid, trisodium salt)
Trilon® M complexing agents are the perfect choice for "green" product formulations, because they have a very favorable toxicity profile and are readily biodegradeable. A better solubility (compared to standard aminocarboxylates) is an additional advantage.

For acidic formulations
Trilon® D liquid (hydroxyethylethylenediamintriacetic acid, trisodium salt)
The Trilon® D liquid complexing agent performs particularly well in acidic formulations because of the high solubility of the free acid. Trilon® D liquid can also be used to stabilize Fe3 ions in alkaline media.
The green product for metal complexation, readily biodegradable
Trilon® M types (methylglycine diacetic acid, trisodium salt)
Trilon® M complexing agents are the perfect choice for "green" product formulations, because they have a very favorable toxicity profile and are readily biodegradeable. A better solubility (compared to standard aminocarboxylates) is an additional advantage.
The polymeric complexing agent, bioeliminable
Trilon® P liquid (modified anionic polyamine)
Trilon® P liquid is a polymeric complexing agent that exhibits high complex stability and therefore can be used to stabilize the bleach in processes like pulp and paper production. Trilon® P liquid can be eliminated effectively from waste water streams in waste water treatment plants.
