AquaGo Binder
Description
AquaGo Binder is a functional feed pellet binder formulated to improve pellet integrity, water stability, and physical durability in aquaculture feeds. It combines sodium alginate, modified starch, and lignosulfonate to provide complementary binding properties during feed processing and water exposure.
Sodium alginate forms a cohesive matrix that can contribute to pellet structure and water stability, while modified starch provides binding and structural support. Lignosulfonate contributes to pellet cohesion and processing performance. Together, these components help maintain pellet integrity, reduce fines and disintegration, and improve the physical stability of feed during storage, handling, and feeding.
AquaGo Binder is suitable for fish and shrimp feeds where pellet durability, water stability, and efficient feed delivery are important considerations.
Advantages
- Supports strong and durable feed pellets
- Improves pellet cohesion and physical stability
- Supports water stability of aquaculture feed
- Helps reduce pellet disintegration and fines
- Helps minimize nutrient loss caused by feed breakdown in water
- Supports efficient feed delivery and utilization
- Helps reduce physical feed losses during handling and feeding
- Suitable for fish and shrimp feed formulations
- Complements pelletized and extruded aquaculture feed production
Usage
2–10 kg per metric ton of complete feed.
The appropriate inclusion rate should be determined according to feed formulation, processing conditions, pellet size, target species, manufacturing equipment, water stability requirements, and desired pellet durability.
Cautions
- Use as part of a properly formulated aquaculture feed.
- Mix thoroughly and uniformly with other feed ingredients.
- Actual binding performance depends on starch composition, moisture, processing temperature, pressure, pellet size, and manufacturing conditions.
- Conduct feed-processing trials to determine the optimum inclusion rate for the specific feed formulation.
- Protect the product from excessive moisture during storage.
- Store in a cool, dry place in sealed packaging.
- Do not exceed the recommended inclusion rate without technical assessment.
- Follow applicable feed regulations in the target market.
