- Catalog: HG-BULK044
- Applications: Agriculture, Mining, Concrete, Ceramics, Mineral Powder Metallurgy, Pesticides, Petroleum, Leather.
Calcium ligninsulfonate is a water-soluble, anionic surfactant derived from lignin, a natural polymer found in wood. It is produced through the sodium bisulfite pulping method, typically from softwood sources. This chemical modification imparts unique properties to lignin, making it highly effective as a dispersing, binding, and chelating agent in a wide range of industrial applications.
Key Features
Strong Dispersing and Binding Properties
- Calcium ligninsulfonate effectively disperses particles in aqueous systems, preventing clumping and ensuring uniform distribution.
Chelating Ability
- With its chelating properties, calcium ligninsulfonate can bind to metal ions.
Water Solubility
- Fully soluble in water, this compound enhances the efficiency of aqueous-based formulations.
Non-Toxic and Safe
- It is a non-toxic, non-hazardous product, making it safe for use across a wide range of industrial sectors.
