Description

Chitosan Adipate is a water-soluble derivative of chitosan, formed by the reaction of chitosan with adipic acid. This modification enhances its solubility and functionality, making it a versatile biopolymer for advanced applications. It is particularly valuable in industries requiring biocompatible, biodegradable, and film-forming materials, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food technology.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a matrix for controlled drug delivery systems, enhancing bioavailability and providing sustained release.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Serves as a film-forming agent, moisturizer, and stabilizer in skincare and haircare products.
• Food Technology: Acts as a natural preservative, edible coating for fruits/vegetables, and a texture modifier.
• Biomedical Engineering: Employed in wound dressings, tissue engineering scaffolds, and hemostatic agents due to its biocompatibility.
• Water Treatment: Functions as a flocculant for the removal of heavy metals and organic contaminants from industrial wastewater.
• Agricultural Technology: Used in seed coating and as a carrier for slow-release fertilizers and pesticides.

Quality Control

Our Chitosan Adipate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and performance. While we offer technical and food-grade materials, our processes are designed to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, solubility, viscosity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). To prevent caking and degradation, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use and protected from humidity.
