Description
Sodium alginate is a highly viscous polymer compound and a typical hydrophilic sol. It is widely used in food, medicine, printing and dyeing and other industries for its stability, thickening and emulsifying properties, hydration and gelation
Function
1. Sodium alginate is highly hydrophilic and can be dissolved in cold and warm water to form a very viscous and uniform solution.
2. The true solution formed by sodium alginate has softness, uniformity and other excellent properties that are difficult to obtain with other analogs.
3. Sodium alginate has a strong protective colloid effect, and has a strong emulsifying power for oils.
4. Sodium alginate has low adhesion and is suitable for warp yarn sizing and demoulding.
5. Sodium alginate is a linear polymer electrolyte, which can be made into strong fiber (alginic acid fiber) or film, which can prevent cracking.
Application
1. Used as sizing agent and printing paste for textiles.
2.It is widely used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier, such as ice cream and milk products.
3. It can be made into film for anti-sticking packaging of candy.
4. Used in health foods, it can reduce cholesterol in serum and liver, and can also improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients
