Sodium Alginate, E401, CAS no.9005-38-3, food thickener, manufacturing process from brown seaweeds. Sodium alginates are soluble in both hot and cold water and are available in a variety of viscosity ranges with various gelling properties. Sodium Alginate solutions are converted, in the presence of calcium ions (calcium chloride or other soluble calcium salt), to Calcium Alginate, the heat-stable gelled form.
As an experienced Sodium Alginate manufacturer and supplier, we has been supplying and exporting Sodium Alginate: Super low viscosity (10-100cps), Low viscosity (100-200cps), Middle viscosity (200-500 cps), High viscosity (500-1000 cps), Super high viscosity (above 1000 cps) for almost 10 years, please be assured to buy from us. Any inquiries about price and the market trend please feel free to contact us, we will reply you within 1 working day.
