Description

Sodium Alginate (Biodegradable Polymer Grade) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, known for its excellent gel-forming ability and biocompatibility. It forms hydrogels rapidly in the presence of divalent cations such as calcium ions, enabling mild and controllable gelation without harsh conditions.

The material is highly versatile and supports encapsulation of cells, drugs, and biomolecules. Its properties, including viscosity, molecular weight, and gel strength, can be tuned to match specific application needs. Alginate is biodegradable and non-toxic, making it suitable for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications.
