Chitosan Hydrochloride(Medical Grade)
Brief Introduction
Chitosan hydrochloride is made by adding hydrochloric acid ethanol solution to chitosan, and then filtering, washing residue, drying, crushing and other processes. Since chitosan can only be dissolved in some dilute inorganic acids or organic acids, it cannot be directly dissolved in water, which limits its application to a large extent, so chitosan hydrochloride makes up for this significant shortcoming.
Character
Chitosan hydrochloride is a white or off-white odorless, non-toxic translucent amorphous powder. It dissolves in water. The aqueous solution is neutral, clear and transparent; the property is stable.

Application
Chitosan hydrochloride can be directly dissolved in water, which is a kind of chitosan derivative with strong cationic property. It can promote the absorption of nutrients or drugs by somatic cells, and can be used as absorption promoters for hydrophilic drugs and natural nutritional cosmetics, medical dressings and carriers, food health care, cationic flocculants, etc.
♔ It can be applied to prepare wound and burn dressing with excellent hemostatic effect.
♔ It can be made into capsule health products, which is convenient to eat and can be dissolved and absorbed to give full play to the health care function of chitosan.
