export chitin and chitosan from Asia
Reminder about Health certificate

Because chitin and chitosan are from animal origin, a health certificate is required to clear customs in Eurozone. Such document is valid only if delivered by a manufacturer registered in the Euro TRACES system. The good news is that we provide a certificate fully compliant with this regulation.

To order, nothing is easier. Contact us by phone or by email and specify :
  1. Grade : Industrial, Food/Pharma
  2. Origin : shrimp or squid
  3. Degree of deacetylation (%DD), Viscosity…
  4. Desired quantity
  5. Shipping method

Next, we will send you a price quote and lead time.

 

Product Grades Definitions

  • No Limit on Heavy metals
  • No Limit on Microbiology
  • Particle size is normally big to minimize cost
  • Some impurities : 1 time inspection

Food/Pharma Grade

  •  Limit Heavy metals
  • Limit Microbiology
  • Particle size usually small to very fine
  • Low Impurities : 2 times inspection
  • Pass magnetic screen
List of Products

Important Note : we measure the viscosity of our products in 1% chitosan solution prepared with acetic acid (1%). Be aware that if you use another acid or change chitosan concentration, result can vary widely.
