Coagulators/Gellants/ Heat-sensiti

Flocculating agents, gelling agents, and heat-sensitive agents are substances that are widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. These substances play an important role in the production process and improve the quality of products by changing the physical properties of the materials.

Coagulants
Flocculants are substances that cause suspended particles in a liquid to aggregate and form flocs. This flocculation process is used to separate solids from liquids, purify water, and produce solid products.

Mechanism of action: By neutralizing the electrical charges on suspended particles and creating bonds between them, flocculants cause the formation of larger flocs that can be easily separated.
Applications:
Water and wastewater treatment
Paper production
Food industries
Pharmaceutical industries
Gellants
Gellants are substances that create a three-dimensional structure in a liquid and convert it into a gel. Gels are semi-solid materials that have high viscosity and water retention properties.

Mechanism of action: Gelling agents create a three-dimensional structure by forming a network of molecules in a liquid, which increases viscosity and forms a gel.

Applications:
Production of food gels (jelly, ice cream)
Pharmaceutical industries (production of topical gels)
Cosmetic and health industries (production of hair gels, lotions)
Production of detergents
Heat-sensitive materials
Heat-sensitive materials are materials that change their physical properties with temperature changes. These materials are widely used in various industries, including the food, medical, and electronics industries.

Mechanism of action: These materials usually contain polymers that change their structure with increasing temperature, changing properties such as adhesion, solubility, and viscosity.
Applications:
3D printing
Food packaging
Medical industries (e.g. surgical adhesives)
Production of protective coatings
