Potassium alginate (CAS 9005-36-1) is a water-soluble sodium salt of alginic acid derived from brown seaweed. Produced via alkaline extraction, its molecular formula is typically represented as (C6H7O6K)n. This anionic polysaccharide functions primarily as a thickening and stabilizing agent in industrial formulations.
Store in a cool, dry environment to prevent microbial growth or moisture absorption. Avoid inhalation of dust; use appropriate respiratory protection during handling. Not intended for intravenous injection due to potential thrombogenic risks.
