Products Description:

  Sodium Alginate is the white crystal whose appearance and smell are similar to sugar. In the food industry, Sodium Alginate has the functions of stabilization, hydration, thickening and emulsification. In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used as dental impression material, ointment, tablets and their preparation, and hemostat.

As a leading food additives and food ingredients supplier in China, we can provide you with high quality Sodium Alginate.
  Alginate absorbs water quickly, which makes it useful as an additive in dehydrated products such as slimming aids, and in the manufacture of paper and textiles. It is also used for waterproofing and fireproofing fabrics, as a gelling agent, and for thickening drinks, ice cream and cosmetics.
  Alginate is used in various pharmaceutical preparations such as Gaviscon, Bisodol, and Asilone. Alginate is used extensively as an impression-making material in dentistry, prosthetics, lifecasting and occasionally for creating positives for small-scale casting. It is also used in the food industry, for thickening soups and jellies.
