Request SDS →Lignosulfonate (CAS 8068-05-1) is a water-soluble anionic polymer recovered from sulfite wood pulping. It functions as a dispersing agent and emulsifier and is widely used as a concrete water-reducing admixture and plasticizer, a binder for animal-feed pellets and briquettes, and a dust-suppression agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is lignosulfonate used for?
Lignosulfonate (CAS 8068-05-1) is a water-soluble anionic polymer used mainly as a concrete water-reducing admixture and plasticizer, a dispersant for dyes, agrochemicals, and mineral slurries, a binder for animal-feed pellets and briquettes, and a dust-suppression agent on unpaved roads.
What is another name for calcium lignosulfonate?
Calcium lignosulfonate is also referred to as calcium lignosulphonate, lignosulfonic acid calcium salt, or by trade designations within the lignosulfonate family. All are sulfite-pulping-derived lignin salts differing by counter-ion (calcium, sodium, ammonium, magnesium).
Is lignosulfonate water soluble?
Yes. Lignosulfonate is a water-soluble anionic polymer recovered from sulfite wood pulping, which is what enables its function as a dispersant, emulsifier, and concrete plasticizer in aqueous systems.
What is the cost of bulk lignosulfonate?
Bulk pricing depends on counter-ion (calcium vs. sodium), form (powder vs. liquid), purity, and order volume, so we quote per requirement rather than publish a fixed price. Request a bulk quote with your target tonnage and form for current pricing.
Does RawSource supply lignosulfonate in powder and liquid form?
RawSource distributes lignosulfonate in bulk industrial quantities; available form (powder or liquid) and counter-ion are confirmed per order. It classifies under HS code 3804.00. Request a quote and we will confirm grade, form, and current availability.
