Description

Ichythyosan CAS NO 85568-45-2 is a high-purity, naturally derived polysaccharide compound, primarily sourced from chitin. This product matters for its unique biocompatibility and functional properties, making it a valuable raw material for advanced formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biomedical industries seeking reliable, high-quality ingredients for research and production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a binder, disintegrant, or film-forming agent in tablet and capsule formulations.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Functions as a viscosity modifier, moisturizer, and film-forming agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a scaffold material in tissue engineering and wound healing applications due to its biocompatibility.
• Dietary Supplement: Utilized as a source of dietary fiber and for its potential health-beneficial properties in nutraceutical products.
• Agricultural Adjuvant: Employed in seed coatings and as a biodegradable carrier for controlled-release agrochemicals.
• Water Treatment: Acts as a natural flocculant and chelating agent in certain water purification processes.
