Ammonium Alginate CAS 9005-34-9 | Food & Pharma Grade Supplier China
Product Name: Ammonium Alginate
CAS Number: 9005-34-9
Other Names: Ammonium Alginate, Ammonium Alginate, Ammonium Salt of Alginate
Product Introduction
Ammonium alginate is the ammonium salt form of alginic acid, a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown algae (such as kelp and giant kelp). It is a safe, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable natural colloid with excellent thickening, film-forming, suspending, and stabilizing properties.
Ammonium alginate's solubility and stability surpass those of some other alginates, making it particularly suitable for use in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textile printing and dyeing, papermaking, and ceramics.
