  • Applications

    Polyglucosan (CAS 9012-72-0) is a glucose-based polymer that can function as a thickener, binder, and stabilizer across a range of industrial applications. In polymers/plastics, it may serve as a processing aid and binder to enhance film formation and structural integrity. In coatings and inks, it acts as a rheology modifier and thickener to improve processing, dispersion, and surface finish. In adhesives, it can serve as a binder and improve adhesion and film-forming properties. In cosmetics and personal care, it can be used as a thickener, texture enhancer, and stabilizer for emulsions and gels. In pharmaceuticals, it may be used as an excipient or dispersing matrix, contributing to tablet formulations or controlled-release systems. In cleaning and household products, it can act as a thickener and stabilizer in detergents and cleaners.
