Product Overview
High-Viscosity Chitosan is a premium-grade biopolymer extracted from high-quality crustacean shells. Its high molecular weight gives it superior viscosity, film-forming capability, and gel strength. This makes it ideal for applications where thickening, coating, or bioactive delivery is required. The product is biodegradable, non-toxic, and eco-friendly, suitable for both industrial and agricultural uses.
Applications
- Water Treatment: Acts as a flocculant to remove suspended solids, dyes, and heavy metals.
- Food & Beverage: Used as thickener, stabilizer, or coating agent.
- Pharmaceuticals: Forms hydrogels, films, and drug delivery carriers.
- Agriculture: Functions as a soil conditioner and plant growth promoter.
- Cosmetics: Enhances viscosity and film formation in creams, lotions, and gels.
