Description

Alginic Acid, Compd. With 2,2,2-Nitrilotrisethanol is a chemically modified alginate derivative, specifically the triethanolamine salt of alginic acid. This compound is valued for its enhanced solubility and stability in aqueous systems compared to standard alginic acid, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced material sectors for its gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a binder, disintegrant, and sustained-release matrix agent in tablet and capsule manufacturing.
• Topical Gels & Creams: Serves as a gelling and viscosity-modifying agent in dermatological and cosmetic preparations.
• Dental Impressions & Molds: Acts as a key component in alginate-based impression materials due to its rapid gelation with calcium ions.
• Food Stabilization: Employed as a thickener and stabilizer in certain food-grade applications where improved solubility is required.
• Biomedical Research: Utilized in cell encapsulation, tissue engineering scaffolds, and wound dressings for its biocompatible gelling properties.
• Industrial Thickening: Functions as a rheology modifier in water-based paints, adhesives, and ceramic glazes.
