Sodium Lignohumate

Product Name: Sodium Lignohumate

Product Code: GAC-NaLSHA

Manufacturer/Supplier: Green Agrochem

1. Product Description

Sodium Lignohumate is an anionic derivative of lignin that presents as black flakes or powder. It is completely water-soluble and acts as a surfactant and polymer that can be modified by the addition of organic or inorganic groups. It is primarily used as an industrial binder and animal feed additive.

3. Applications and Uses

Industrial Applications:

  • Coal Briquettes & Refinery Coke Binder: Helps bind difficult-to-handle powder into regular sizes that are easier to use without lowering heating energy. Typically, 3-5% of Sodium Lignohumate is mixed with water and the total mixture to control end-product moisture at less than 7%.
  • Ceramics: Increases mechanical green and dry strength in ceramic pieces and acts as a lubricant during extrusion or pressing.
    • Usage rate: Additions to ceramic slips vary from 0.1% to 2.0%. For pressed tiles, a 1% addition can double mechanical strength.
    • Benefits: Better clay workability, reduced shrinkage while maintaining after-forming mechanical strength, reduced need for die lubrication, longer life of wearing parts, quick drying, and reduced energy consumption.

Animal Feed Additive:

  • Nutritional Benefits: Supplies natural soluble carbohydrates, which are crucial for metabolizable energy, and positively affects animal growth and digestion.
  • Physical Feed Improvements: Improves particle strength in livestock and poultry feed, increases eating resistance, and reduces the amount of feed powder and anti-back ratio, ultimately saving costs.

4. Packaging

  • 20 kg or 25 kg woven bags with an inner liner.
  • Customized packaging is available according to customer requirements.
