Carrageenan Powder CAS 11114-20-8 Thickeners

Carrageenan, also known as Eucheuma plastic, stone cauliflower, carageenan, carrageenan, because carrageenan is from Eucheuma, seaweed, carrageenan and other red algae seaweed extracted from the hydrophilic colloid. Carrageenan has many physicochemical properties such as hydrophilic colloid, gel, thickening, emulsification, film formation and stable dispersion. It can be used as a gelling agent, emulsifier, thickener or suspending agent for stabilizing emulsion, controlling Liquid shrinkage, forming, cementing and dispersing, etc.
