Potassium alginate 98%

SNAP Natural and Alginate Products Private Limited was set up in September 1978 by first-time entrepreneurs. A project plan to manufacture 150 MT per annum of Sodium Alginate from Sargassum seaweed was prepared. We manufacture Alginate from Sargassum (Brown Algae) which we collect from natural beds at Ramanathapuram. Carrageenan is manufactured from Eucheuma Cottonii (Red Algae) which is cultivated in the sea. Our site at Tirupallani is engaged in seaweed collection, procurement and post harvest processing of seaweed to ensure highest quality of seaweeds.

SNAP was founded with a vision to not only be a market leader in Phycocolloids but also with a strong focus on the environment and its people. The Founding Directors had a core belief that we need to give back to the environment and the community in which we live and operate. Since its inception SNAP has operated with this vision.

SNAP is a zero discharge company with no liquid or solid waste. Alginate processing is extremely water intensive however due to our continuous efforts to reduce water consumption, it has gradually reduced from 2000 litres / kg to 100 litres / kg of production.

SNAP is an equal opportunity employer which has a 50% female workforce and offers equal pay for equal work. We only hire people from the neighboring villages in order to promote livelihood development and provide employment opportunities to our local communities.
