AMMONIUM ALGINATE

PRODUCT’S INTRODUCTION

Ammonium alginate is one kind of light yellow to brown amorphous powder or granule, which has the features of hydrophilic, thickening and gel properties. Due to the characteristics of more pure organic product, it contains low ash content.

SOLUTION PROPERTY

Ammonium alginate, as a hydrophilic colloid, is easily soluble in water to form a viscous solution.

GEL PROPERTY

Ammonium alginate can rapidly exchange the ions when encounters the calcium ions to form the gel, whose gel has the thermo irreversible property. The gel formed by the high-G alginates is hard but fragile; By contrast, the gel formed by high-M alginates is good flexibility but hardness. Adjusting the two ration, we can produce different strength gel.
