Chitosan CAS 9012-76-4

Product Overview

Chitosan (CAS 9012-76-4) is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1→4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. It is produced by the alkaline deacetylation of chitin, which is typically sourced from the exoskeletons of crustaceans. As a versatile active compound within the Nutritional Ingredients and Fine Chemicals categories, Chitosan is highly valued for its unique cationic nature, biocompatibility, and film-forming capabilities. Conscientia Industrial, a leading China-based manufacturer, provides high-quality Chitosan optimized for biochemical research, filtration technology, and specialized industrial formulations. Our production process ensures precise control over molecular weight and deacetylation degrees to meet the diverse technical requirements of the global chemical supply chain.
