Promecens

Advanced Biomaterials for Global Industries

  • Promecens supplies high-purity chitosan derivatives, antimicrobial peptides, and melanin biomaterials engineered for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, biomedical devices, environmental technologies, packaging, and advanced materials. Our materials are produced from circular Black Soldier Fly biomass and fungal sources including oyster mushrooms and other basidiomycetes, allowing customers to select biomaterials based on sustainability, regulatory requirements, and application performance.
  • Promecens products are available in research, pilot, and industrial quantities, with customizable specifications including molecular weight, viscosity, substitution degree, and purity.
  • The standard lead time for most orders ranges from 2 to 12 weeks, depending on product specifications and order volume.
  • All materials are manufactured in accordance with GMP/cGMP compliance standards, and each production batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing, with full traceability documented through an individual Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
