CHITELIX SA

Chitosan is a natural, biodegradable biopolymer derived from chitin, a structural compound found in the shells of crustaceans, as well as in certain fungi and insects. It is obtained through a deacetylation process that converts chitin into a more reactive and soluble form. What makes chitosan particularly valuable is its unique combination of properties: it is biocompatible, non-toxic, and possesses natural antimicrobial, film-forming, and chelating abilities. These characteristics allow it to interact with a wide range of substances, making it highly versatile across industries. Chitosan is used in agriculture as a biostimulant and plant defense elicitor, helping crops resist stress and disease. In water treatment, it acts as a natural flocculant to remove impurities. In cosmetics and biomedical fields, it is valued for its ability to form protective films, enhance skin and hair care formulations, and support advanced applications such as drug delivery systems. As industries seek sustainable alternatives to synthetic chemicals, chitosan stands out as a key bio-based material enabling the transition toward greener, circular solutions.

FUNGELIX is a natural, chitosan-based biofungicide and biostimulant designed to protect crops while enhancing plant vitality. Rather than acting as a conventional chemical pesticide, FUNGELIX works by stimulating the plant’s own defense mechanisms and creating a protective barrier against fungal pathogens. Formulated with optimized chitosan properties, FUNGELIX offers dual action: it helps prevent and control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases while promoting stronger, more resilient plant growth. It improves stress tolerance, supports root development, and contributes to overall crop performance. Key Features: Natural antifungal activity Elicits plant immune responses (systemic resistance) Enhances growth and stress tolerance Compatible with sustainable and organic farming practices Safe for the environment and non-toxic FUNGELIX provides an effective, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fungicides, supporting the transition toward more sustainable and regenerative agricultural systems.
