• In the printing and dyeing industry, sodium alginate is mainly used as an active dye paste, which has the characteristics of high fuzziness, non hydrolysis, and good flowability. It can print patterns with clear contours and bright colors, and is suitable for printing various fabrics. In addition, sodium alginate can be mixed with starch or used as a substitute for starch to prepare warp yarn slurry, improving weaving efficiency.
• In the food industry, sodium alginate is mainly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It can be used in foods such as ice cream, yogurt, jelly, etc. to increase the thickness and taste of the food, and extend the shelf life by 23. For example, adding sodium alginate to ice cream can improve its taste, making it more delicate and smooth.
• The pharmaceutical field is also one of the important application areas of sodium alginate. It can be used as a carrier and stabilizer for drugs, helping them to better exert their effects, especially in the development of sustained-release formulations and anti-tumor drugs.
• In the agricultural field, sodium alginate is used as a soil amendment and plant growth regulator to promote crop growth and increase yields. In terms of environmentally friendly materials, sodium alginate can be used to manufacture bioplastics and paper. It is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material that helps reduce environmental pollution.

  Industrial grade potassium alginate is mainly used as a thickener and stabilizer. It is widely used in multiple fields such as food, cosmetics, agriculture, etc.

• In the food industry, potassium alginate has good thickening, stability, and water retention properties, and is commonly used in dairy products, meat products, baked goods, etc. It can improve the texture and taste of food and extend the shelf life of products. For example, as a stabilizer in dairy products to prevent sedimentation, and as a suspension and thickening agent in beverages to evenly distribute fruit or pulp.
• In the field of agriculture, potassium alginate, as a plant growth promoter, can stimulate root development, enhance plant nutrient absorption capacity, and improve crop yield and quality. It also has stress resistance, helping plants resist adversity such as drought and salt alkali.
• In the cosmetics industry, potassium alginate is used in facial mask, facial cleansers, beauty creams and other products. It has good moisture retention, film-forming and biological activity, can penetrate into the bottom of the skin to provide lasting moisture nourishment, and improve the dryness and roughness of the skin. In addition, potassium alginate is also used in industrial manufacturing fields such as petroleum and manufacturing as a binder and molding agent for precision castings, improving product quality and stability
