GLDA Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- GLDA-4Na
GLDA supplier for detergent, cleaning, water treatment and textile manufacturers in Malaysia. GLDA is tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, a readily biodegradable chelating agent and cleaner builder. It is offered as an aqueous solution and as a powder.
Liquid GLDA, commonly around 47% active, and solid powder grades are selected against active content, pH and impurity limits. Because GLDA sequesters hardness and heavy-metal ions, it improves detergent performance, stabilises peroxide bleaches and helps control scale. State the application so the quoted grade fits.
Typical uses include builder and chelating agent in household and institutional detergents, peroxide stabiliser in textile bleaching, scale and metal control in water treatment, and industrial cleaning. Suitability should be confirmed against the finished formulation.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about GLDA
What is GLDA used for?
GLDA, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, is a readily biodegradable chelating agent used as a builder in detergents, a peroxide stabiliser in textile bleaching and a scale and metal-control agent in water treatment.
Is GLDA the same as EDTA?
No. GLDA and EDTA are different chelating agents with different structures and biodegradability profiles. GLDA is a glutamate-based, readily biodegradable option often selected in place of EDTA.
Which GLDA form should I request?
The aqueous solution, commonly around 47% active, suits liquid dosing, while the powder suits dry-blend detergents and cleaners. State the application and active-content requirement so the quoted form matches.
What specifications should be sent with an enquiry?
Include the required active content, pH, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location. Specification limits are matched to the quoted grade before supply.
How is GLDA priced?
Price depends on grade, active content, quantity, packing and delivery location. Send those details with your enquiry and the quotation carries its own validity period.
