A value with no row here was assembled from more than one record, so no single record is credited for it. The draft you buy carries this table as an appendix covering all 16 sections.

- PubChem — names and identifiers
- PubChem — regulatory information
- PubChem — toxicity data
Sections 1.3 and 1.4 are withheld here because the supplier and emergency contact blocks carry your own company details in the draft you buy. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
Measured values for Tetrasodium EDTA, and where each one comes from
7 measured values for 4 properties, read from 1 public database. Every record agrees. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Melting point
1 record
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
- 300 °C (decomposes)
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Density
1 record
Needed to convert between mass and volume on the label, in transport papers and in a spill estimate.
- 6.9 lb/gal /Apparent density/
