Physical and chemical properties
Appearance properties: white to light yellow fibrous or powdery solid, non-toxic, odorless, easily soluble in water. Insoluble in general organic solvents.
In the range of PH value of 2-12, the viscosity change is small, but the viscosity decreases beyond this range. It has the properties of thickening, suspending, bonding, emulsifying, dispersing, retaining moisture and protecting colloid. Solutions of different viscosity ranges can be prepared. It is unstable under normal temperature and pressure, avoiding humidity, heat and high temperature. It has exceptionally good salt solubility for dielectrics, and its aqueous solution is allowed to contain high concentrations of salts and remains stable.
Packaging Types
25kg/ drum or as per customers ' requirements .
