1. Manutex RS is a sodium alginate based thickener made from Kelp seaweed and used in both the textile and food industry. This thickener is recommended for general use as it is stable under mildly acidic or alkaline conditions. The thickener is also recommended for printing or painting wool or silk with Acid dyes under acidic conditions.
