Seaweed Extract (λ-Carrageenan) – Natural Thickener for Marbling Art
Lambda Carrageenan (λ-Carrageenan) is one of the best thickening agents used in marbling (Ebru) art. It does not form a gel and dissolves quickly in both cold and hot water, making it easy to use. Since it does not require heating, it is commonly preferred in instant (ready-to-use) products. When cooled, it does not form helix structures, ensuring a homogeneous consistency.
The Importance of Lambda Carrageenan in Marbling Art
Thickening agents, such as seaweed extracts or powdered carrageenan, are used in marbling art to increase the viscosity of water. When mixed with water, λ-Carrageenan creates an ideal consistency in the marbling tray, preventing the colors from sinking. This property allows the colors to move freely on the surface, making it easier for artists to shape patterns.
Lambda Carrageenan is one of the best thickeners for preparing marbling water and is preferred by professionals. This natural thickener, derived from brown seaweed found in the depths of the ocean, keeps the water clear and enhances the vibrancy of colors. Carrageenan can be stored for up to 30 days under normal temperature and humidity conditions.
Lambda Carrageenan Packaging Options
Available in different package sizes to meet your needs:
- 100 g Lambda Carrageenan: Ideal for medium-sized marbling works.
- 250 g Lambda Carrageenan: Recommended for artists who work with marbling regularly.
- 500 g Lambda Carrageenan: Suitable for workshops and large-scale production.
How to Use Lambda Carrageenan?
Since thickening agents come in different types and qualities, the correct proportions may vary by product. λ-Carrageenan dissolves easily in warm or hot water. For example, add 4-5 grams of λ-Carrageenan to 1 liter of water and stir thoroughly until completely dissolved. Letting the mixture rest for a few hours enhances its solubility.
This thickener ensures a homogeneous viscosity for marbling water, helping the colors spread more evenly. Marbling water prepared with λ-Carrageenan should be stored in a cool, dark place to prolong its usability.
