Sodium alginate for electrode welding coating
Sodium alginate, derived from alginates which are found in the cell walls of brown seaweed, are very helpful compounds. It is not only popular in the medical, textile, printing, and food industry but other industries take advantage of it as well. It is so versatile that welding, casting, cosmetic, and papermaking industries benefit from it.
Used with electrode coating material for welding
Welding coating can be humidified when powder used for welding or electrode coating material is coated together with sodium alginate. The compound can endow the welding coating with the right plasticity while the extrusion process in ongoing. Moreover, it can also help minimize splashes produced while welding because the alginate makes it easier to decompose into ash.
