Our polymer alginate portfolio for a broad range of pharmaceutical applications

Alginates are natural polymers extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry due to their unique properties and superior performance. They enable viscosity in solutions and form a three-dimensional gel in the presence of calcium ions. This distinctive functionality supports a diverse range of applications, such as controlled release. Alginates can also function as active pharmaceutical ingredients in anti-reflux products.

Our alginate family of products – including Protanal®, Manucol® and Protacid® – are extracted from sustainably-harvested seaweed. Backed by years of expertise in this field, our alginates maximize yield and ensure batch-to-batch consistency. We offer a variety of viscosities and gel strengths to deliver specific gelling, stabilizing and thickening properties.
