About Chitosan
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the shells of crustaceans such as shrimps and crabs. Chitin and chitosan, the naturally abundant and renewable polymers, have excellent properties such as bio-compatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and adsorption. The cost of chitosan depends on the quality of the product. Chitosan is used in a wide range of applications such as water treatment, cosmetics, and agrochemicals.
