Potassium alginate is a chemical compound that is the potassium salt of alginic acid. It is an extract of brown seaweed and its empirical chemical formula is KC6H7O6.
Usage in medicine industry:
Potassium alginate is used as a pharmaceutical excipient is currently limited to experimental hydrogel systems.
The viscosity, adhesiveness, elasticity, stiffness, and cohesiveness of potassium alginate hydrogels have been determined and compared with values from a range of other hydrogel-forming materials.
The effect of calcium ions on the rheological properties of procyanidin hydrogels containing potassium alginate and intended for oral administration has also been investigated.
Our factory can produce various kinds of potassium alginate products with different viscosity.
