In Algeria, the manufacturing sector is currently undergoing a transition toward high-value specialty chemicals. The demand for cellulose ether has surged as the construction and textile industries seek materials that can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations typical of the Sahara and Mediterranean regions.
The local textile industry relies heavily on precise thickening agents. The application of natrium alginate has become pivotal for high-quality printing, providing the necessary rheological properties to ensure sharp patterns on diverse fabric substrates across Algiers and Oran.
However, the market faces challenges regarding the stability of raw materials during transit and storage in arid climates. This has led to a growing preference for high-performance cellulose ether hpmc, which offers superior water retention and temperature stability compared to traditional alternatives.
