Chitosan, 85% deacetylated

Description

Chitosan, CAS # 9012-76-4, is a polymer derived from chitin. It is used in the laboratory research of medical material and biomedicine due to its demonstrated bactericidal, antibacterial, anticancer, and antiviral effects. | CAS: 9012-76-4 | C56H103N9O39 | 1526.464 g/mol

Chitosan is widely utilized in biomedical applications. It finds applications in plantations as natural seed treatment and a growth enhancer. It serves as a fining agent in winemaking and also prevents spoilage. It is involved in the field of medicine to reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent. It is used in self-healing coatings which are applied in industrial applications. It is also employed as a part of a filtration process to remove phosphorus, heavy minerals and oils from water.
