Chitosan is a natural biopolymer that is derived from chitin. It is non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and antibacterial.

The conventional process for manufacturing chitin/chitosan utilizing a strong acid/base process is known to be highly variable, and to generate a low-quality product.

Clarification and flocculation

Chitosan and its composites possess biosorbent ability that absorbs contaminants such as heavy ions, pesticides, suspended solids, turbidity, fatty or oil impurities from wine, pool or wastewater.

Chitosan generates solids with water entrained in a lower percentage that leads to the creation of a stable and strong floc. A floc of high quality enables the treatment systems to run efficiently, both upstream and downstream.

Our ability to provide a quality product produced using green chemistry at a competitive price is a significant competitive advantage over traditional suppliers who utilize the acid/base extraction method. Furthermore, having North American-based operations allows for simpler access to the high-value North American and European markets via USMCA and CETA.

Wound Healing

Chitosan is increasingly being used in wound healing applications due to its biocompatible and antimicrobial properties that minimize infection and promote healing. It is natural-derived and biocompatible.

Due to the improved quality we are able to generate, we are an ideal partner for wound dressing manufacturers.
