CHITOSAN Hw by Chitelix is a biopolymer derived from the deacetylation of chitin, characterized by free primary amino groups (–NH₂) along its backbone that confer strong film-forming capability and surface adhesion. It is produced through a sustainable circular approach. <br><ul style="padding-left: 40px;">
<li> It is characterized by enhanced solubility, low viscosity, and high reactivity, enabling efficient performance in formulations. </li>
<li> Its films exhibit excellent oxygen and moisture barrier properties, relevant to anti-corrosion and protective surface coatings.</li><li>The cationic nature of chitosan (due to protonated –NH₂ groups at slightly acidic pH) enables electrostatic interaction with negatively charged microbial cell membranes, making it a well-documented active ingredient in antimicrobial surface coatings for medical devices, food contact surfaces, and industrial applications.</li>
<li>CHITOSAN Hw is particularly suited to anti-fouling coating formulations and UV-protective coatings.</li></ul> CHITOSAN Lw by Chitelix is a biopolymer derived from the deacetylation of chitin, characterized by free primary amino groups (–NH₂) along its backbone that confer strong film-forming capability and surface adhesion. It is a natural polysaccharide obtained through the deacetylation of chitin derived from marine crustacean shells. It is produced through a sustainable circular approach. <br><ul style="padding-left: 40px;">
