China and Germany are the leading exporters of Pentasodium Pentetate (CAS 140-01-2), collectively accounting for over 60% of global exports in 2023–2024, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the largest importing markets. Imports into the U.S. and South Korea increased by approximately 8–12% year-on-year in 2024, coinciding with modest upward pressure on Pentasodium Pentetate prices amid tighter supply from key Chinese producers.
Pentasodium pentetate is a white to off-white, crystalline, hygroscopic solid with no characteristic odor and low volatility. It is the sodium salt of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), classified as a chelating agent and synthetic organic compound. Primarily used for its strong complexation ability with multivalent metal ions, it serves as a stabilizer and sequestrant in industrial formulations. Key applications include water treatment, detergent and cleaning product formulations, personal care products (e.g., shampoos and cosmetics), and as an additive in pulp and paper processing and textile dyeing. It is also employed in certain diagnostic radiopharmaceutical preparations where metal ion control is critical.
