Discover the enhanced functionality of Chitosan with Hangyuan Herb’s high-quality Chitosan Hydrochloride (Chitosan HCl). Derived from natural Chitosan (obtained from crustacean shells), this hydrochloride salt form offers the significant advantage of excellent solubility in water at neutral pH, overcoming the limitations of standard Chitosan. As a versatile cationic biopolymer, Chitosan HCl is sought after in food preservation, cosmetics, agriculture, water treatment, and more. Hangyuan Herb is your reliable B2B supplier for consistent, high-purity Chitosan HCl powder tailored to your specific grade requirements.
Facing Challenges with Chitosan Solubility & Quality Consistency?
Sourcing and utilizing Chitosan derivatives can present several hurdles for manufacturers:
- Poor Solubility of Standard Chitosan: Struggling to dissolve regular Chitosan in neutral water systems, limiting its application scope.
- Inconsistent Quality & Purity: Receiving Chitosan HCl batches with variable solubility, viscosity, color, or concerning levels of impurities (heavy metals, ash).
- Variable Performance: Experiencing inconsistent results in applications like flocculation, film-forming, or antimicrobial activity due to batch-to-batch variations.
- Finding Specific Grades: Difficulty sourcing Chitosan HCl that reliably meets specific requirements for food, cosmetic, or industrial applications.
- Lack of Reliable Data & Support: Insufficient technical specifications, clear Certificates of Analysis (CoA), or responsive supplier support for formulation troubleshooting.
Hangyuan Herb delivers high-quality, water-soluble Chitosan HCl with consistent properties and comprehensive support to overcome these obstacles.
Hangyuan Herb Chitosan Hydrochloride: Water Soluble, High Performance
Chitosan Hydrochloride (CAS No. 70694-72-3) is the salt produced by reacting Chitosan with hydrochloric acid. This modification protonates the amino groups along the Chitosan polymer chain, rendering it readily soluble in aqueous solutions across a wider pH range, particularly at neutral pH where standard Chitosan is insoluble. This water solubility dramatically expands its usability in diverse formulations.
At Hangyuan Herb, we produce Chitosan HCl from high-quality Chitosan raw material with controlled molecular weight and deacetylation degree. Our manufacturing process ensures high purity, consistent viscosity, excellent solubility, and low impurity levels (e.g., heavy metals, ash content). We offer various grades (e.g., Food Grade, Cosmetic Grade, Industrial Grade – specify if possible) and can provide detailed specifications including viscosity, degree of substitution, purity assays, and microbial limits. Our commitment to rigorous quality control guarantees a reliable, high-performance biopolymer for your B2B applications.

Frequently Asked Questions: Chitosan HCL (Chitosan Hydrochloride)
What is Chitosan HCL (Chitosan Hydrochloride), and how does it differ from standard Chitosan?
Chitosan HCL (Chitosan Hydrochloride) is a salt form of chitosan that offers enhanced water solubility, particularly in acidic environments. This makes it easier to formulate and potentially more bioavailable than standard chitosan.
What are the primary applications of Chitosan HCL (Chitosan Hydrochloride)?
Chitosan HCL is used in dietary supplements for weight management and cholesterol control, as well as in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, including drug delivery and wound healing.
Where does the Chitosan used in your Chitosan HCL originate?
Our Chitosan is derived from crustacean shellfish (e.g., shrimp, crab) sourced from reputable and sustainable fisheries. We can provide information on the specific origin upon request.
