Product Description

Common chitosan cannot soluble in water or in ordinary organic solvents. It only can be dissolved in most organic acids and partially dilute inorganic acid solutions, so the application filed is extremely limited.
Water-soluble chitosan improves the dissolution performance of chitosan, and maintains the high molecular characteristics of chitosan, making it more convenient, more widely application fields.
