细菌纤维素

细菌纤维素是用生物发酵的方法以糖为原料,通过细菌的代谢作用转化的一种多糖纤维素。

Bacterial cellulose is a glucose polymer formed by the linkage of glucose monomers through β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. The fibers have a diameter of 20-40 nanometers, with the majority exceeding 20 micrometers in length.

NCI name: CELLULOSE

Structure

3D Structural Characteristics: NatFibra®écobel can form a unique and stable three-dimensional (3D) mesh structure in a liquid.
Nanometer-sized:Possesses an exceptionally large specific surface area and high aspect ratio.
High Elastic Modulus
High Water Retention
High Purity: High crystallinity, high polymerization, no hemicellulose, no plastic particles, can be safely and widely used in the medical field.

Characteristics

Strong Water Retention Values (WRV): Thanks to the "nanometer-sized" three-dimensional (3D) mesh structure of NatFibra™ bacterial cellulose, water molecules are firmly locked within the 3D spatial network, resulting in exceptional water retention capabilities. It can retain over 100 times its own weight in water and has significantly higher strength compared to plant cellulose. 

2,Uniform Distribution Without Altering Liquid Viscosity. A Green Suspension Stabilizer.
NatFibra™ bacterial nanocellulose forms a "nanometer-sized" stable three-dimensional (3D) mesh structure, where active ingredient nanoparticles in the liquid system can be locked within the 3D spatial network. It exhibits excellent suspension, system stability, and minimal increase in liquid viscosity.

Applications of Nanocellulose Bacteria Fiber

Personal Care and Cosmetics

Leveraging the excellent suspension, strong flowability, and transparency characteristics of bacterial cellulose, we have developed a variety of products suitable for shampoo and body wash.

Cleaning Industry

利用细菌纤维素的悬浮性好,流动性强,透明的特点,我们开发了多款适用于高低浓度洗衣液的产品

Agriculture and Forestry

Leveraging the characteristics of bacterial cellulose, including its ability to create oil-water combinations, excellent suspension, strong flowability, and high water retention, we have developed products for seed coating and aerial crop protection.

Medical Industry

Bacterial cellulose, with its nanometer-sized dimensions, is capable of closely simulating the human ECM (Extracellular Matrix) structure. It possesses characteristics such as porosity, high specific surface area, excellent breathability, and superior moisture retention. Consequently, it is widely used as a new multifunctional wound dressing.
