Sodium Alginate Printing Thickener
CAS Number: 9005-38-3
Sodium alginate is the preferred natural thickener for reactive dye printing on cotton and cellulosic fabrics. It forms a smooth, viscous print paste that releases dye efficiently during steaming fixation, producing sharp print edges with minimal penetration. Biodegradable and easily washed out after steaming, leaving no stiff residue on the fabric.
