Aqua Gel

Aqua Gel

A blend of carrageenan with other hydrocolloids serves as a vital and essential ingredient in several technical and personal care products such as in air freshner, tooth paste, lotions/skin creams , Low pH hard gel soap etc

Carrageenan is extracted from the seaweed by alkali treatment at high temperature. The extract is then purified and converted into powder. This is done either by the gel-press, KCI-freezing, KCI-press, or alcohol precipitation method.

At the heart of the manufacturing process is the Quality Control Laboratory. Highly-trained chemists and food technologists continually ensure that the quality parameters are strictly followed and that the Carrageenan being processed passes the specifications
