FAQ

 

Q1: How to choose the right viscosity grade?

The selection depends on your application. Low viscosity is suitable for beverages and easy dissolution, while medium to high viscosity is used for thickening and gel formation.

 

Q2: Can it replace other thickeners like CMC or xanthan gum?

In many formulations, magnesium alginate can partially or fully replace other thickeners, depending on the required viscosity and texture.

 

Q3: Is it soluble in cold water?

Yes, but proper dispersion is recommended to avoid lumping. Pre-mixing with dry powders or using agitation improves solubility.

 

Q4: Can you provide samples and technical support?
Yes, samples are available for testing. We also provide viscosity recommendations and technical support based on your application.
