Main Products
Sodium Lignosulfonate is a natural polymer derived from lignin, a key component of wood.This compound is widely recognized for its versatility and appears as a yellow-brown powder that is highly soluble in water.
Calcium Lignosulfonate is a water-soluble, yellow-brown powder . It is valued for its dispersing, binding, and water-reducing properties, making it a versatile additive across multiple industries. It dissolves readily in water but is insoluble in organic solvents.
Magnesium lignosulfonate is a versatile, eco-friendly chemical compound derived from lignin, a natural polymer found in wood. It is produced as a byproduct of the sulfite pulping process in the paper industry, where lignin is sulfonated and neutralized with magnesium ions.
Potassium Lignosulfonate is a water-soluble compound derived from lignin. It is produced as a byproduct of the sulfite pulping process in the paper industry, where lignin is sulfonated and neutralized with potassium ions. It is highly valued for its versatility, sustainability, and wide range of applications across multiple industries.
Its unique features, such as the ammonium content and high solubility, make it especially valuable in industries like agriculture and construction. Whether improving soil health, enhancing concrete workability, or binding feed pellets, ammonium lignosulfonate offers an effective and eco-friendly solution.
Modified lignosulfonates are advanced forms of lignosulfonates, optimized through chemical modifications to meet specific industrial needs. Their applications span construction, agriculture, oil drilling, and beyond, offering sustainable, cost-effective alternatives to synthetic chemicals. As renewable and biodegradable materials, they play a vital role in eco-conscious industrial practices.

Lignosulfonates, which are derived from lignin—a complex organic polymer found in plants—play a significant role in carbon sequestration, particularly in agricultural settings. Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to mitigate climate change, and lignosulfonates contribute to this by enhancing soil properties that promote carbon storage.
Our Applications
Lignosulfonates, byproducts of the sulfite pulping process, are versatile compounds with applications across various industries due to their dispersant, binding, and chelating properties. Here’s a concise overview:
Lignosulfonates serve as soil conditioners to enhance soil structure and nutrient availability, and as dispersants or chelating agents in fertilizers and pesticides.
Lignosulfonates disperse cement particles in concrete mixtures, reducing friction and allowing for lower water content without sacrificing flowability.This increases the concrete’s compressive strength and durability while reducing shrinkage and cracking.
When sprayed on unpaved roads, lignosulfonates bind fine soil particles into a cohesive layer, preventing them from becoming airborne.This reduces dust clouds, improving visibility for drivers and air quality for nearby residents. It also minimizes road maintenance needs
They bind feed ingredients (e.g., grains, vitamins, minerals) into durable pellets by forming a cohesive matrix during the pelleting process.
Lignosulfonates serve as dye dispersants in the textile industry, ensuring even color distribution across fabrics for consistent and high-quality dyeing results.
Lignosulfonates function as pellet binders in animal feed production. By binding feed ingredients together, they improve the durability and quality of pellets, reducing waste and ensuring consistent nutrition for livestock.
