Chitosan
Order nowPROPERTIES OF CHITOSAN
Fundamentally, the characteristics of chitosan are:
- very strong antibacterial effect
- total biodegradability
- biocompatibility
- high humidity absorption
Due to these characteristics, chitosan is used so far in following areas:
| flocculation | purifies waste water |
| heavy metal adsorption | adsorbs and removes radioactive substances |
| biodegradation | degraded by microorganism as it is an organic material |
| antimicrobial activity | inhibts bacterial growth |
| immunization | enhances the body's immunity to disease |
| cell activation | promotes lysozyme secretion |
| acceleration of skin tissue regeneration | thin non-woven fabric is successfully applied to burns |
| salt adsorption | lowers high blood pressure |
| oil absorption inhibition | helps the body getting rid of excess fat |
| lowering of cholesterol | catch cholesterol and lowers its levels |
| haemostatic action | bleeding is easily stopped |
| slow releasing action | permits slow and steady release of medicines maximizing the efficacy |
