Propylene Glycol Alginate Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Hydroxypropyl Alginate
- Alginic Acid, Ester with 1,2-Propanediol
Propylene glycol alginate is a modified alginate offered for Malaysian beverage, food-processing, personal-care and specialty-formulation enquiries. Also called hydroxypropyl alginate, it is the propylene glycol ester of alginic acid identified by CAS 9005-37-2 and commonly supplied as a white to cream-coloured powder.
Buyers may require beverage stabiliser grade, food emulsifier and thickener grade, personal-care formulation grade, or a specification-selected processing grade. Degree of esterification, solution viscosity, moisture, pH, particle size and dispersion behaviour should be stated because one universal value does not suit every formulation.
Applications include beverage and foam stabilisation, sauces, dressings, fillings and other processed-food systems, plus selected creams, lotions, cleansers and specialty aqueous products. Propylene glycol, alginic acid and sodium alginate are separate substances, while premixes containing other gums or carriers are formulated blends.
For a Propylene glycol alginate supplier Malaysia quotation, send the required esterification and viscosity grade, application, quantity and delivery location. Packing, documentation, availability, delivery timing and price are confirmed with the quotation.

Propylene Glycol Alginate applications
Common questions about Propylene glycol alginate
What is propylene glycol alginate used for?
Propylene glycol alginate is used as a stabiliser, thickener and emulsifying aid in beverages, sauces, dressings, fillings and other food systems, and as a formulation aid in selected personal-care and specialty aqueous products.
Which propylene glycol alginate grade should a buyer specify?
State the beverage, food, personal-care or specialty-processing application, then define the required degree of esterification, solution-viscosity range, test basis, particle size and dispersion behaviour.
Why do esterification level and viscosity grade matter?
Propylene glycol alginate grades can differ in how extensively the alginic acid is esterified and in their solution viscosity. Those variables influence hydration, thickening and stability in the buyer's formulation.
Is propylene glycol alginate the same as propylene glycol?
No. Propylene glycol is a small liquid glycol, while propylene glycol alginate is a modified alginate polymer supplied as a powder. They have different identities, forms and functions.
Is propylene glycol alginate the same as alginic acid or sodium alginate?
No. Alginic acid and sodium alginate are separate alginate materials, while propylene glycol alginate is the propylene glycol ester of alginic acid. Each requires its own specification.
Does this page cover propylene glycol alginate blends?
No. This page covers the propylene glycol alginate ingredient identified by CAS 9005-37-2. Premixes and formulated blends with other gums, emulsifiers or carriers require a separate composition specification.
What information is needed for a propylene glycol alginate quotation in Malaysia?
Send the esterification and viscosity grade, application, quantity, packing preference, documentation requirements and delivery location. Availability, packing, documentation, timing and price are confirmed with the quotation.
