1. Enhance mechanical properties and controlled release function (pharmaceuticals/building materials)
Strong bonding and molding: As an efficient adhesive, it significantly improves the mechanical strength of tablets and prevents breakage; it enhances cohesion and adhesion in building materials.
Precise drug release control: Excellent film-forming properties can achieve sustained release and controlled release, optimize therapeutic effects and reduce the risk of side effects.
2. Optimize rheological properties and stability (food/cosmetics)
Efficient thickening and suspension: Increase product viscosity, inhibit phase separation (such as beverage precipitation, emulsion stratification), and ensure texture uniformity.
Improve sensory experience: Give food an ideal consistency and smooth taste, and enhance the spreadability and skin feel of cosmetics.
3. Ensure biosafety and compatibility (pharmaceuticals/food/cosmetics)
Non-toxic safety certification: Meets GRAS standards, non-sensitizing and non-irritating, suitable for oral preparations and direct contact products.
Mild metabolic characteristics: Clear metabolic pathways in the body, no risk of adverse gastrointestinal reactions.
4. Excellent physical and chemical stability
Performance retention over a wide temperature range: Maintain key parameters such as viscosity and consistency under high-temperature processing (such as sterilization, baking) and extreme storage conditions.
Extend product shelf life: Inhibit physical property degradation and ensure quality consistency during shelf life (especially for temperature-sensitive products).
5. Improve drug delivery efficiency (pharmaceuticals)
Enhance bioavailability: Promote the absorption of poorly soluble drugs through colloid solubilization, reduce dosage requirements, and optimize the efficacy-cost ratio.
6. Support green and sustainable production
Natural origin and degradability: Reduce environmental load and meet environmental regulations and sustainable supply chain requirements (such as green building materials certification).
