Main uses

1. Textile and printing and dyeing industry: Chitin is used as a color fixative and fabric shrinkage-proof finishing agent.

 

2. Pharmaceutical industry: used to manufacture anticancer drug chlorourea toxin, artificial skin, surgical thread, cholesterol-lowering drugs, etc.

 

3. Environmental protection, beverage and food industry: Chitin is used as a water treatment agent, flocculant and health food additive.

 

4. Paper and wood-based panel industry: Chitin is used as an adhesive.

 

5. Food packaging and agriculture: Chitin is used to manufacture a new generation of biodegradable films, food packaging films and agricultural mulch films. It is also used for slow-release coating materials for fertilizers and pesticides, and seed treatment agents.

 

6. Scientific research: Chitin is used for enzyme immobilization carriers, separation membranes and artificial kidneys, etc.

 

Application in the cosmetics industry

Chitin and its derivatives are widely used in the cosmetics industry, including shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, hair spray, mousse, perfume, night cream, lotion, cream, lipstick and other products. Its excellent performance and efficacy include:

 

1. Safety: non-toxic.

 

2. Film-forming and breathable: a thin film is formed on the surface of the skin. Since the film is a three-dimensional network structure, various moisturizing factors and physiological functional substances can be embedded in it and have a sustained release effect.

 

3. Skin adhesion: good adhesion.

 

4. Stability: stable in the pH range of 1~14, with good cold and hot stability and compatibility.

 

Packaging specifications:

25kgs/drum, according to customer needs.

Storage conditions:

Low temperature ventilation and drying in the warehouse
