Potassium Alginate is a white to light yellow powder, easily soluble in water to form a viscous colloid.As a natural hydrophilic colloid, it is widely used in the food industry (as a thickening and stabilising agent for jellies and ice creams), pharmaceutical excipients (slow-release preparations) and dental impression materials, where its high safety and film-forming properties are outstanding.It should be stored in moisture-proof condition and avoid contact with strong acid or high value metal ions to avoid gel failure.
Potassium alginate is soluble in water, dissolving to form a viscous hydrophilic colloidal solution. It is insoluble in ethanol (95%) and in hydroalcoholic solutions in which the alcohol content is greater than 30% by weight; also insoluble in chloroform, ether, and acids having a pH lower than about 3. When preparing solutions of potassium alginate it is important to ensure proper dispersion of the particles, as poor dispersion will lead to the formation of large lumps of unhydrated powder and significantly extended hydration times.
