Our Low Viscosity Sodium Alginate Range
Low Viscosity (1% solution at 20°C, cps) | Ultra Low Viscosity (10% solution at 20°C, cps) |
20-50 | ≤100 |
50-100 | 100-300 |
100-200 | 300-500 |
300-500 | 500-700 |
In addition to this, there are also "Low Viscosity + High Gel Strength" ranges available, e.g. 500-700 or 600-800 g/cm2.
Higher gel strengths create a harder surface.
Viscosity of Sodium Alginate
Viscosity is a measure of a substance's resistance to flow.
In the context of sodium alginate powder, low viscosity means that the powder easily dissolves in water and forms a solution with a thinner consistency.
This property is desirable in applications where a smooth and uniform dispersion is needed, such as in food, beverage and some pharmaceutical products, where sodium alginate is often used as a thickening or gelling agent.
