What Makes It “Super”

It is extracted from purified lignin and is completely water-soluble. Its lignosulphonate content is 95% min, against 55 – 60% min for the general sodium lignosulfonate grades, with low insoluble matter and low calcium and magnesium.

Who Buys It

Formulators of pesticide WP, WDG and SC products, dye and pigment dispersions, and emulsions, where impurities and hardness ions can affect stability. Send your application and target specification and we will confirm the grade.

Application Areas

Uses listed in the Super Grade TDS.

Dyes and Pigments

Dispersant for dye and pigment formulations, as listed in the TDS. Check heat stability for high-temperature dyeing.

Emulsions

Emulsifier for stabilizing oil-water systems, as listed in the TDS.

When a Standard Grade Is Enough

For concrete, binders and dust control, the general grades (55 – 60% min lignosulphonate) do the job at lower cost. See sodium lignosulfonate grades.

Buyer Questions

What is super sodium lignosulfonate?

A high-purity sodium lignosulfonate made from purified lignin, with 95% min lignosulphonate content (dry basis), 0.5% max water-insoluble matter and 0.5% max calcium and magnesium. Product code GAC-NaLS-Super.

How is it different from standard sodium lignosulfonate?

Standard powder grades have 55 – 60% min lignosulphonate content; the super grade has 95% min. The TDS lists it for dispersant and emulsifier uses rather than concrete or binders. A full comparison is in the super vs standard guide.

How is it packed?

25 kg woven bags with a liner, or 500 kg / 600 kg jumbo bags. Shelf life is 24 months in the original unopened packing.
