98% Usnic Acid Powder

Introduction

98% Usnic Acid Powder is a natural active ingredient extracted from lichen of the Usniaceae plant family, specifically from the leaf part. Usnic Acid 98% Powder is a yellow crystalline solid.

 

It is a yellow crystalline substance, insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol, ether, and other organic solvents. When heated, rosin melts, exhibiting strong bonding properties. However, it becomes brittle upon cooling, especially at high temperatures, resulting in darkening of color, aging, and reduced bonding ability. Sprinkling rosin powder onto the object to be heated allows it to penetrate deeply into the pores. Upon heating and applying pressure, the rosin powder melts and bonds the hot stamping material to the object's surface.

Testing Report:

Extraction Method

Usnic acid powder is extracted from lichens using various methods. Typically, the extraction process involves the use of organic solvents such as hexane, acetone, or isopropanol to dissolve and extract the compound from the lichens. Subsequently, the solvent is evaporated, leaving behind a purplish or brownish powder, which constitutes the usnic acid. Additionally, in some cases, it is feasible to isolate usnic acid from lichens by forming complexes with calcium or other ions. Depending on the extraction method employed, the color and form of the powder may vary.

 

Production Method

98% Usnic Acid Powder can be synthetically manufactured. This process typically entails microbial fermentation followed by purification through a series of steps including filtration, chromatography, and crystallization.
