Sodium alginate In printing and textile industry A: Printing agent It has been a long history that sodium alginate is used in starching, finishing and printing, mainly in printing. It, as a reactive dye printing agent, has a special property. During reaction of fibre and reactive dye, the dye is fixed in fibre and printing agent do not attend this reaction, Otherwise, the agent will be fixed in the fibre and make it hard, fragile and bad color, if you use Sodium Alginate as a printing agent, it not only affects the dyeing reaction but also makes the product outline clear, color bright, feeling smooth. This agent is also suitable for cotton, wool, silk and synthetic fibre. The products of medium and low viscosity fit for the printing requirements by net or roll style. Actually the printing agent mixed with low-viscosity Sodium Alginate is stabler than with the other viscosity, which is the results to produce a high content of printing agent. This agent will make a dense cover during drying and raise dyeing. High quality sodium alginate sizing can meet special, requirement of spray-printing. B. Synthetic fibre Mix Sodium Alginate and asbestos short fibre, then mixture solidify by the solution of Calcium Acetate.
Sodium Alginate Main Applications
Industrial Grade:
In printing and dyeing industry, sodium alginate is used as additive for active dyestuff, which is superior to grain starch and other paste. Using sodium alginate as the printing paste would not affect the reactive dyes and dyeing process, at the same time it can get a brilliant and bright colors and good sharpness, with high color yield and uniformity, and it is easy washing after printing. The most important, after using sodium alginate, the fabrics feel good and look good. It is not only suitable for cotton printing, but also for wool, silk, synthetic printing, particularly applicable to the preparation of dyeing printing paste.
In addition, it can also be used as warp sizing, not only saving a large amount of grain, but also making the warp fibers without raising, and with friction resistance, low breakage rate, thereby enhancing the efficiency of weaving, effective for cotton fibers and synthetic fibers.
Food Grade:
Sodium Alginate Food Grade is a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, has numerous functionalities in food industry, such as thickening agent, stabilizer, emulsifier, texture improver, anti-retrogradation of starch and gel agent, due to its special chemical construction and excellent properties. Alginate can be widely applied as a natural additive in various kinds of food, such as wheat flour, noodles, frozen flour products, bakery, etc.In Foods,Alginate has an excellent functionality as a thickening agent, gelling agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, texture-improver (for noodles), to improve the quality of food. Safety of alginate for food applications is certified by FAO/WHO, as one of the safest food additives.
