01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM
Brands need packaging that protects the product and reduces persistent plastic without failing mechanical, barrier, migration or food-contact requirements.
Chitosan films and coatings place a biodegradable, antimicrobial-development platform directly at the product surface.
Biodegradable chitosan films and coatings that combine product contact, barrier function and antimicrobial-system development.
02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with the material designed for the decision.
Film formation keeps chitosan at the product surface, where formulation, coating thickness and composite design can be tuned around moisture, gas transfer and microbial risk.
Without the shell
Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.
Specification engineered
MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.
Application ready
Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.
One technical partner
Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.
03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS
Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.
Active packaging concepts
Active packaging concepts can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished antimicrobial films + wraps system.
Surface microbial-control support
Surface microbial-control support can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished antimicrobial films + wraps system.
Plastic-reduction programs
Plastic-reduction programs can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished antimicrobial films + wraps system.
04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA
Define the evidence before testing begins.
The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.
Mechanical and seal performance
Moisture, oxygen and gas-transfer properties
Migration, food contact and shelf-life performance
05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION
A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.
Define
Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.
Screen
Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.
Validate
Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.
Recommended first request: A film or coated-substrate sample matched to the packaged product.
Start the Sample Brief06 · WHY CHITOSAN
A complementary antimicrobial hurdle
Cationic chitosan can interact with negatively charged microbial surfaces under suitable formulation conditions, while films and coatings retain function where risk is concentrated.
There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.
Target organisms, pH, dose, sensory impact, package and shelf life are validated through finished-form challenge testing.
