Description

Alginate Sodium Salt NF

Alginate Sodium Salt NF is a high-purity, naturally derived polysaccharide used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical formulations as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and controlled-release matrix component. Compliant with National Formulary (NF) standards, it provides excellent biocompatibility, viscosity control, and film-forming capabilities for a wide range of oral, topical, and parenteral applications. Alginate Sodium Salt
• Is a NF-compliant natural polysaccharide for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and nutritional use
• Is used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener in diverse formulations
• Is suitable for controlled-release systems, suspensions, and wound care gels
• Provides strong film formation and moisture retention properties
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Alginate Sodium Salt NF is a sodium salt of alginic acid extracted from brown seaweed (Phaeophyceae species). It appears as a white to pale yellow fibrous powder or granule that is soluble in water, forming viscous colloidal solutions capable of gel formation in the presence of multivalent cations such as calcium.
In pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, Alginate Sodium Salt NF is used in:
• Controlled-release and sustained-release oral formulations
• Topical and wound dressing gels promoting hydration and healing
• Suspensions and emulsions requiring consistent rheology and stability
• Encapsulation systems for probiotic, vitamin, or peptide delivery
• Tissue engineering scaffolds and biomedical hydrogel systems
Alginate Sodium Salt NF provides pH-sensitive gelation, high bioadhesion, and excellent compatibility with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic actives. It supports formulation flexibility across a wide range of viscosities and concentrations.
CarboMer supplies Alginate Sodium Salt NF that is characterized byviscosity, moisture content, heavy metals, and microbial purity. The material meets NF monograph specifications and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical and medical applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. It is available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR), viscosity, pH, loss on drying, ash content, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer natural polymer excipients, Alginate Sodium Salt NF is supported by formulation expertise, regulatory guidance, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and high-quality product performance.
