| Hydrolyzed elastin with a molecular weight of 2000 to 5000 Da is a good film-former, similar to hydrolyzed collagen. It is much less hygroscopic (less water-absorbing) than collagen due to its lower polar and charged amino acid content. | ||
| Low-polarity protein hydrolysates like elastin and silk are preferable to collagen in applications where humidity resistance is desired. |
