Applications
- Improved Strength: Chitosan can enhance the tensile, burst, and tear strength of paper, making it more durable. It works as a natural binder, helping fibers adhere more strongly, which improves the mechanical strength of paper.
- Enhanced Print Quality: By providing a smooth, even coating on paper, chitosan improves ink adhesion and distribution, resulting in better print quality and more vivid colors.
- Barrier Properties: Chitosan creates a natural barrier against water, oils, and grease. This makes it valuable for packaging papers, especially in food applications where moisture resistance is essential.
- Antimicrobial Protection: Chitosan’s natural antimicrobial properties help protect paper products from microbial growth, enhancing their longevity. This is especially beneficial for packaging, medical, and archival paper products.
- Eco-friendly and Biodegradable: Since chitosan is derived from natural sources, it is a sustainable alternative to synthetic additives, contributing to the production of eco-friendly, biodegradable paper products.
