Keratin is a fibrous structural protein that is a key component of the epithelial cells in vertebrates. It is characterized by high stability, excellent mechanical strength, and good biocompatibility, with strong resistance to chemical degradation and physical wear. It forms insoluble, tough structures through disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds, serving as a protective barrier for organisms.
In the petroleum additive field, keratin-derived materials can act as eco-friendly lubricity enhancers and anti-wear additives. They help reduce friction and wear between metal surfaces in lubricating oils, improve the overall lubrication performance of the oil products, and are suitable for formulating environmentally friendly lubricants due to their biodegradable nature.
In the cosmetics and personal care industry, keratin is a widely used functional ingredient. It can penetrate the hair cuticle, repair damaged hair fibers, enhance hair strength and elasticity, reduce breakage and split ends. For skin care products, it helps moisturize the skin, improve skin barrier function, and reduce moisture loss, making the skin softer and smoother.
In the biomedical field, keratin has significant application potential. It can be processed into biocompatible scaffolds, wound dressings, and drug delivery carriers. These products have good cell compatibility and biodegradability, which can promote wound healing and reduce the risk of adverse reactions in the human body.
