Calcium Alginate Application
-
Medical Dressings & Wound Care
-
Haemostatic & Exudate-Absorbing Dressings: Extensively manufactured into advanced wound care dressings, alginate gauze, and ropes for heavy-exudate wounds, surgical incisions, and burns. Exchanges calcium ions with sodium ions in blood to form a soft gel, stopping bleeding and accelerating healing.
- This kind of gauze has the functionalities of hemostasis, as well as antibacterial and promoting the wound healing.
-
-
Food & Beverage Industry
-
Gelling & Thickening Agent: Utilized as a firming agent, gel matrix, and stabilizing carrier in restructured foods, artificial pearls/caviar, and dietary fiber supplements.
- As a food additive, it can be used in various types of imitation food products, meat products, and jelly products.
-
-
Biotechnology & Environmental Protection
-
Enzyme Immobilization & Heavy Metal Adsorption: Applied as a matrix for immobilizing cells/enzymes and as a biosorbent for removing heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater.
-
- For industrial grade, calcium alginate can be used for welding rod coating. It is featured with fine particle size and low salt, that makes it one of the indispensable ingredients for high-end electrodes.
