All our starches are made from high-quality raw materials and improve the characteristics of the finished product in a wide range of applications. We help clients in the production of paper and corrugated cardboard, textiles, various types of adhesives and we are ready to develop the product according to individual requirements to the quality characteristics of the product on the part of the client.
Native starches are widely used in various areas of industrial production. In the paper industry — for the production of coated paper, cardboard, paper containers and other products. In the textile industry — for smoothing and finishing fabrics. In chemical — for sealing, printing inks and producing glue.
Native corn starch is pure white starch, obtained during the corn wet-milling. Due to its adhesive properties, is the basis for glue in the production of corrugated cardboard and imparts the necessary strength characteristics to fabrics. It is used for printing on textile and paper products (the paint is laid flat and does not spread over the product). Native corn starch is used in dressing and sizing, in the production of building materials and a variety of means for economic use.
