SeaSpen® IN

56

SeaSpen® IN is an industrial carrageenan derived from seaweed and used as a hydrocolloid thickener and gelling agent for water-based solutions.

Descripción

SeaSpen® IN, a naturally derived iota-carrageenan biopolymer, is extracted from sustainably harvested Eucheuma spinosum red seaweed. By dispersing the polymer in cold water and heating it above its solubility temperature (~80°C), a solution of SeaSpen® IN can be produced. This process can lead to the production of a soft gel that is stable when freeze thawed. At low addition rates, the SeaSpen® IN solutions will not undergo gelling due to it behaving as a thixotropic rheology modifier.

SeaSpen® IN can help increase the stability and prolong storage life of a product when added to industrial formulations based on dispersions and emulsions, such as, agrochemical sprays, coatings, and inks. These characteristics of SeaSpen® IN carrageenan are an example of sustainable chemistry that can replace thickeners and gelling agents that are derived from fossil fuels.
