Chitin
Chitin is a high-purity nitrogenous polysaccharide primarily sourced from crustacean shells, known for its exceptional structural integrity and natural origin. It serves as a vital renewable raw material for the industrial synthesis of chitosan and other high-value bioactive derivatives.
As a non-toxic and biodegradable biopolymer, it is widely utilized in both Technical Grade and Cosmetic Grade applications. Its unique chelating properties and inherent biocompatibility make it an indispensable component in modern green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing.
This material acts as an effective thickening agent and film-forming polymer across various industrial sectors. Its ability to provide superior moisture retention and mechanical strength significantly enhances the performance of specialized coatings, functional fibers, and filtration media.
Chitin
- Water Remediation: Functions as a natural flocculant and chelating agent to efficiently remove heavy metals and organic pollutants from industrial wastewater streams.
- Cosmetic Formulations: Integrated as a bio-active ingredient in premium skincare products to provide long-lasting moisture protection and improve skin texture.
- Textile Processing: Applied in the production of functional fibers and antimicrobial finishes to increase the tensile strength and durability of specialized fabrics.
Chitin is generally classified as non-hazardous, though bulk handling may generate dust leading to respiratory irritation. Operators should maintain strict dust control and wear safety goggles, nitrile gloves, and a dust mask during processing.
