Potassium lignosulfonate is a water-soluble anionic compound derived from lignin, a complex polymer found in the cell walls of plants. It is typically produced by sulfonating lignin extracted from wood pulp, particularly from softwood species such as pine. Alfa Chemistry's potassium lignosulfonate is primarily used in industries such as construction, metallurgy, ceramics, and animal feed.

Applications

Potassium lignosulfonate from Alfa Chemistry offers a wide range of applications across different industries:

Concrete Superplasticizer

• It reduces water content by 10-14%, improving the workability of concrete, especially in hot weather. It is typically used alongside high-efficiency water-reducing agents.

Mineral Binder in Metallurgy

• It is used to create mineral powder pellets in metallurgy. Mixed with mineral powder, it improves the smelting process and recovery rates.

Refractory Materials

• It acts as both a binder and dispersant in the production of refractory materials like bricks and tiles.

Ceramics

• It reduces carbon content and strengthens green bodies, while improving slurry flow.

Animal Feed Binder

• It increases the palatability and strength of animal feed pellets.

Storage and Packaging

• Storage Conditions: Stored in a dry, ventilated area to avoid moisture absorption.
• Packaging: Packaged in 25 kg bags, with inner plastic film and outer polypropylene woven bags.
