Alginate Fiber
Alginate fiber is a high-performance textile fiber made from seaweed through wet spinning. It has been widely used in fields such as biomedicine, textile dyeing and printing, food industry, packaging materials, wastewater treatment, and beauty cosmetics.Appearance
Appearance : white fibrous
Features& USE
1. The chemical composition of alginate fiber is sodium alginate extracted from marine plants, which has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability.
2. The molecular structure of alginate fiber contains hydrophilic groups such as carboxyl group and hydroxyl group, and the fiber has many amorphous areas and excellent hygroscopicity.
3. Alginate fiber has excellent intrinsic flame retardancy. Without the use of flame retardants, it can show very excellent flame retardancy.
4. Far infrared is the light wave in the range of 6 ~ 15 microns in the wavelength of sunlight, which is absorbed and emitted by the human body, and is known as the "light of life".
5. The molecular structure of alginate fiber is rich in active group COO-, which can adsorb and remove heavy metal ions in the solution.
6. The carboxyl group and hydroxyl group in seaweed fiber can trap more metal ions. When the content of metal ions increases to a certain extent, they can be connected to each other to form a conductive chain, thus achieving the effect of electromagnetic shielding.
7. The common alginate fiber has poor salt resistance and cannot be dyed. The dyeing of alginate fiber can be realized by chemical modification of the fiber and optimization of dyeing process.
Features& USE
Medical and health materials
Alginate fiber dressings absorb wound exudates to form a moisturizing gel. This unique gelatinizing property endows alginate fiber medical dressing with a series of special nursing properties, and it has better efficacy compared with traditional wound care products such as cotton gauze.
Textile clothing fabric
Alginate fiber has far-infrared health care and moisture absorption performance, has natural skin maintenance, moisturizing, beauty effect, and also has special use for skin disease treatment. There are public reports that alginate fiber can resist ultraviolet radiation and prevent skin cancer.
Beauty skin mask
Compared with other facial masks made of fiber, the mask made of alginate fiber has a higher recognition. Alginate fiber mask is very "light, thin", breathable performance is excellent, with good adhesion to skin, very comfortable to use, belongs to the "invisible" mask.
Textiles for safety protection
Alginate fiber has excellent flame retardant, electromagnetic shielding, far infrared and antistatic properties, which can be used in the development of safety protection textiles. According to public reports, alginate fiber can be blended with flame retardant viscose fiber and aramid fiber to develop flame retardant fabrics that are comfortable and safe to wear.
