Description

Chitosan IG is a high-purity industrial-grade chitosan oligosaccharide hydrochloride developed for advanced industrial processing, formulation stability, and reliable large-scale performance. Designed for applications that require rapid solubility, strong molecular interaction, and consistent functional behavior, this material provides dependable results across a wide range of aqueous and surface-treatment systems.

With an approximate 70 mV charge density, Chitosan IG delivers enhanced electrostatic activity, enabling efficient binding, dispersion, and interaction with negatively charged particles and substrates. This balanced charge profile improves performance in industrial formulations where stability, uniform distribution, and controlled molecular behavior are critical. The optimized oligosaccharide structure allows fast dissolution in water, minimizing preparation time and simplifying integration into manufacturing workflows.

Chitosan IG is supplied in the hydrochloride form, which enhances solubility and compatibility with industrial chemistries while maintaining functional performance. Its controlled molecular characteristics ensure reproducible results, making it suitable for continuous processing environments and scalable production systems.

This product is available from two selectable biological sources: Mushroom and Insect.
The mushroom-derived source supports non-animal and vegan-preferred formulations, making it ideal for applications requiring alternative sourcing options. The insect-derived source offers a highly consistent molecular structure and dependable performance, suitable for demanding industrial processes requiring reliability and uniformity.

Manufactured under strict quality control standards, Chitosan IG maintains high purity and consistent batch-to-batch quality. Its versatility allows it to function effectively as a binding agent, dispersant, surface modifier, and functional additive across multiple industries.
