Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, which is found in the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp and crab.
1. Chitosan CAS 9012-76-4 is used in drug delivery systems, wound dressings, and tissue engineering due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Chitosan helps in the controlled release of drugs and has antimicrobial properties.
2. Chitosan can be used as a food preservative and natural food additive. Chitosan CAS 9012-76-4 can extend the shelf life of food by inhibiting microbial growth and can also be used in fat binding applications.
3. Chitosan is used in water purification processes. Chitosan has the ability to flocculate and adsorb impurities, helping to remove heavy metals, dyes and other pollutants from wastewater.
4. In the agricultural field, chitosan CAS 9012-76-4 can be used as a natural pesticide and soil conditioner. Chitosan can promote plant growth, improve seed germination rate, and enhance resistance to pathogens.
5. Chitosan is used in cosmetic formulations for its moisturizing and film-forming properties. Chitosan helps improve skin moisturization and is often used in skin care products.
6. Chitosan CAS 9012-76-4can be used to produce biodegradable films and packaging materials, contributing to more sustainable packaging solutions.
7. Chitosan is marketed as a dietary supplement for weight loss and cholesterol management because Chitosan can bind to dietary fat and reduce its absorption in the body.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store chitosan CAS 9012-76-4 safely and effectively.
1. Store chitosan in a sealed container to prevent moisture and contamination. The container should be made of a material that is compatible with organic compounds, such as glass or high-density polyethylene.
2. Please store chitosan CAS 9012-76-4 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and humid environment, as these factors will affect the quality of chitosan.
3. Ideally, store chitosan at room temperature (15°C to 25°C or 59°F to 77°F). Avoid extreme temperatures as this may affect its stability.
4. When not in use, ensure the container remains tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling chitosan.
5. Clearly label containers with contents, hazard warnings (if applicable), and storage date.
6. Regularly inspect storage areas and containers for signs of leaks, damage or degradation.
7. Have appropriate spill control materials and safety equipment available in storage areas.
8. Please dispose of chitosan CAS 9012-76-4 and any waste generated during Chitosan use in accordance with local regulations.
