【Introduction】
It is a filamentous fibrous material made from raw silk by degumming and refining. Raw silk consists of silk gum and silk pigment, in which the presence of silk gum and other impurities will carry a certain immunogenicity, affecting the application of silk pigment proteins in biologically related fields. Degummed silk refers to the preparation of silk fibroin containing only sericin proteins after treatment to remove silk glue and its impurities.
【Chemical Properties】
1、Degummed silk, composed of amino acids, is rich in amino and carboxyl groups, enabling it to react with both acids and bases, exhibiting amphoteric properties.
2、Degummed silk is insoluble in water under general conditions, but it has strong hygroscopic properties. After absorbing moisture, the silk fiber can increase its weight by up to 30% of its own weight, which provides a guarantee for it to be made into silk products (such as silk quilt, etc.) and applied in the beauty industry to provide moisturizing effect.
【Advantages】
1、Produced with high quality silk raw materials. Raw materials are sourced from the silkworm farming base affiliated with Jiangsu Soho International Group, which is the best natural environment of sericulture production in Jiangsu Province silkworm species production base, and is also the designated core production base for silkworm species conservation and breeding by the Jiangsu Provincial Silkworm Seed Management Office.
2、The process control is strict, with high degumming efficiency and a gum content of ≤3%.
【Grade】
Aseptic, Non-aseptic
【Packaging and Storage】
This product should be stored in a dry environment.
【Application】
It can be used as the foundational material for preparing high-molecular-weight silk fibroin, such as silk essence, silk powder, silk peptide, porous silk material, which are applicable to the production and research and development of various biomedical material products.
