What function does it have on textiles?"},"content":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>\n Chitin is a high molecular weight substance, with a molecular weight of more than 1 million.  The higher the molecular weight, the stronger the adsorption capacity, which is suitable for industrial and environmental applications.  Low molecular weight is easily absorbed by the body.  Chitosan with a molecular weight of about 7000 contains about 30 glucosamine residues.  <\/p>\n<p>\n The chemical structure of chitin is very similar to plant cellulose.  They are all polymers of six-carbon sugars, with molecular weights above 1 million.  The basic unit of cellulose is glucose, which is a polymer composed of 300 to 2500 glucose residues connected by al,4 glycoside chains.  The basic unit of chitin is acetylglucosamine, which is a polymer composed of 1000 to 3000 acetylglucosamine residues connected to each other through p1, 4 glycoside chains.  The basic unit of chitosan is glucosamine.  <\/p>\n<p>\n It can be used as an anti-mildew, sterilization and deodorant for textiles. It can be attached to textile fibers through post-processing. It is one of the ways to increase the added value of textiles. It is used to manufacture underwear, socks, household special function textiles, medical surgical gowns, and wound dressings.  , burn wound dressings or deep processing into artificial skin for the treatment of large area burns.  It can also be used in dyes, paper and water treatment, etc.  <\/p>\n<p>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-99-902.html\">https:\/\/www.  alltextile.cn\/product\/product-99-902.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yingjietex.com\/product\/600D-Dobby-Polyester-OXFORD-Fabric.%20%20html\">https:\/\/www.yingjietex.com\/product\/600D-Dobby-Polyester-OXFORD-Fabric.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe%20%20.com\/post\/9321.html\">https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe.com\/post\/9321.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.%20%20cn\/product\/product-3-663.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-3-663.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/%20%20\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9570.html\">https:\/\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9570.htm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chitin is a high molecular weight substance, with a molecular weight of more than 1 million.
