~~Specifications of chitosan products:
Basic quality specification parameters are degree of deacetylation (DDA) [%], viscosity [mPas], ash content [%], moisture [%] and heavy metals [ppm].
On request additional parameter can be analysed, such as microbiology and molecular weight.
- standardised and consistent qualities
- specification parameters with tightly controlled tolerances
- individual customer specifications
- delivery forms: flakes, powder and solution in different concentrations
Several Chitosan products are available in the following ranges:
