Product Description
Product Description
Chitosan is a natural biological high-molecular polymer appearing as white crystalline powder. It possesses strong hygroscopicity and is mainly extracted from the shells of crustaceans such as shrimps and crabs, or fungal cell walls. Owing to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, it is widely applied in medical repair, aesthetic care, food industry and other fields.

Functions & Applications
- Chitosan is useful in promoting tissue growth in tissue repair and accelerating wound-healing and bone regeneration.
- Chitosan also can be incorporated into hydrogels and microspheres which demonstrate large potential in delivery systems for drugs, proteins or genes.
- Chitosan has a strong positive charge helps it bind to fats and cholesterol and initiates clotting of red blood cells. Also can be used as food additive.
- Cholesterol-lowering effects.
- Fiber and weight loss effects.
- Chitosan is an ecologically friendly biopesticide substance that boosts the innate ability of plants to defend themselves against fungal infections.
- Also can be used as soil improvement agent, seed treatment and plant growth enhancer.
- Chitosan's strong positive charge allows it to bind to negatively charged surfaces such as hair and skin which makes it a useful ingredient in hair and skin products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chitosan is a natural high-molecular polymer derived through deacetylation primarily from the shells of marine crustaceans like shrimp and crab, or fungal cell walls.
Multiple grades are available to suit specific industrial requirements, including Food Grade (85%, 90%), Medicine Grade (90%, 95%), Industrial Grade (80%-90%), Agricultural Grade, Water-soluble, Carboxymethyl, Hydroxypropyl Chitosan, and Chitosan Oligosaccharides.
Chitosan possesses a strong natural positive electrostatic charge, allowing it to adhere tightly to negatively charged biological surfaces such as human hair and skin, delivering superior conditioning and film-forming properties.
In agriculture, Chitosan serves as an eco-friendly biopesticide and elicitor that stimulates plant immune responses against fungal pathogens, while functioning effectively as a soil conditioner and growth enhancer.
Sample and small-batch orders (1kg) are sealed in double inner plastic bags enclosed within an aluminum foil pouch and protective outer carton. Bulk shipments (10kg, 25kg, or larger) are packed in durable fiber drums or cartons with double-layered inner plastic bags.
Orders under 25kg are sent via express air couriers (EMS, DHL, UPS, FedEx) within 3-7 days door-to-door. Medium batches (25-100kg) utilize courier or air freight (3-7 days), while large commercial shipments (>100kg) are transported via air freight or sea freight (10-35 days).
