Chitopharm XXS
Low mW, low viscosity, high performance!
Chitpoharm XXS is a relatively new product, launched by Chitinor in 2023. Despite the relatively fresh launching of the product, the same characteristics and specifications has been produced and sold since 2012 under the name Chitopharm CM XXS. Due to increasing demand for ultra low molecular weighted chitosan, Chitinor decided to bring Chitopharm XXS to an official purchasable product with standard specifications. Chitopharm XXS is the chitosan for customers needing an ultra low molecular weighted chitosan, almost a chito-oligomer.
