Calcium Lignosulfonate Emulsifier Grade
Lignin-based emulsifier, adjuvant and rheology modifier for aqueous industrial formulations.
Calcium Lignosulfonate Emulsifier Grade is a lignin-derived calcium salt used to form stable emulsions and suspensions in aqueous industrial formulations.
It can coat and suspend small droplets or particles in water-based systems, helping improve emulsion stability, wetting, adhesion and rheology behavior.
For LigninCorp, this grade is positioned around industrial emulsions, suspension systems and formulation development rather than agriculture-focused use.
Key Performance Functions
Emulsification
Supports uniform dispersion of oils, waxes or insoluble components in water-based systems.
Adhesion Support
Helps functional ingredients retain more effectively on target material surfaces.
Rheology Modification
Supports viscosity development and suspension stability in aqueous formulations.
Compatibility
Calcium salt form offers broad compatibility after laboratory testing.

Suggested Usage Guidance
| Application | Typical Starting Dosage / Use | Technical Note |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial emulsions | Bench testing required | Check compatibility with oil phase, salts, pH and temperature. |
| Suspension concentrates | 0.1% – 2.0% starting range | Adjust according to particle size, viscosity and settling behavior. |
| Water-based systems | Trial dosage recommended | Optimize by active ingredient package and solids level. |
| Validation | Pilot trial required | Confirm stability, separation, viscosity and application performance. |
Dosage and application method should be verified by laboratory or pilot testing. Performance depends on raw materials, process conditions, temperature, moisture, mixing time and target technical results.
