Why Choose ChanceBio as Your Chitosan Supplier?
Vertical Integration & Production
As a chitosan manufacturer, we control every step—from chitin sourcing to deacetylation—ensuring consistent quality and on-time supply.
Custom Molecular Properties
Tailored viscosity, deacetylation degree, and particle size distribution for your exact formulation needs—whether for biomedical, food preservation, or water treatment.
Regulatory Compliance
Conforms to USP, EP, FCC, and GB standards depending on grade. All batches are supplied with COA, MSDS, and heavy metal/microbiological profiles.
Scalable Supply with Technical Support
From pilot batches to container-level orders, we provide full documentation support and product optimization assistance for R&D and procurement teams.
Key Applications & Functional Benefits
● Pharmaceuticals & Biomedicine
Used in drug delivery systems, wound dressings, hemostatic agents, and tissue scaffolds due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and film-forming ability.
● Food Preservation & Additives
Acts as an edible antimicrobial coating for fruits, vegetables, and seafood—extending shelf life and reducing post-harvest spoilage. Also used as a fat binder in dietary supplements.
● Cosmetics & Personal Care
Functions as a moisture-retentive film-former and skin-conditioning agent in creams, masks, shampoos, and oral care products.
● Water Treatment & Agriculture
Efficient flocculant for removing heavy metals, organic pollutants, and suspended solids. Also applied in seed coating and controlled fertilizer release formulations.
How Does Degree of Deacetylation Affect Chitosan Performance?
The degree of deacetylation (DD) determines chitosan’s charge density, solubility, and bioactivity. Higher DD enhances antimicrobial action, viscosity, and mucoadhesiveness—critical for pharmaceutical or cosmetic use. Lower DD grades are better suited for industrial flocculation or heavy metal binding.
At ChanceBio, we offer DD customization between 75–95%, based on your technical specifications and end-use requirements.
How to Evaluate a Reliable Chitosan Manufacturer?
When sourcing chitosan, especially from a chitosan manufacturer, consider the following:
Raw Material Origin: Marine shells (shrimp, crab) with low ash and protein content ensure purer end product.
Batch Consistency: Viscosity and DD should have narrow variation to avoid formulation inconsistencies.
Regulatory Readiness: Ensure compliance with REACH, FDA, or local food/pharma safety regulations.
Technical Documentation: TDS, COA, and microbial/heavy metal data must be readily available for import/export clearances.
Customizability: Ability to tailor grade, packaging, and particle size ensures greater R&D and manufacturing flexibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the shelf life and storage condition of chitosan?
Typically 24 months under cool, dry conditions. Chitosan is hygroscopic—store in tightly sealed packaging away from moisture and direct light.
Q: Is chitosan suitable for vegan or allergen-free formulations?
While chitosan is shell-derived and not vegan, it is generally hypoallergenic. Vegan chitosan alternatives from fungal sources may be available upon request.
Q: Can ChanceBio support pilot trials or low-volume R&D orders?
Yes. We support early-stage trials with small MOQ and offer technical guidance on selecting appropriate viscosity and DD for prototype development.
Q: What’s the typical lead time for bulk orders?
Standard lead time is 7–14 days for orders <2 tons. For custom specs or new documentation requirements, please allow 2–3 weeks.
