  • Applications

    alpha-D-Mannan, CAS 52002-03-6, is a polysaccharide polymer with several industrial applications: it can serve as a thickener and stabilizer in cosmetics/personal care and household products; evaluated as a dietary fiber ingredient or prebiotic in animal nutrition; it can act as a rheology modifier and thickening agent in coatings, inks, and adhesives; may be used as a pharmaceutical excipient or matrix support in pharmaceutical formulations; and as a biopolymer additive for plastics/polymers to adjust processing rheology and compatibility.
