Maize Starch, Thin Boiling Starch, Carboxy Methyl Starch, White Dextrin, Borated Yellow Dextrin can be manufactured using Maize. Here is the industrial applications of maize starch is explained.
2. Using Maize as raw material, Spac is currently manufacturing five types of starches.
Maize Starch
Thin Boiling Starch
Carboxy Methyl Starch
White Dextrin
Borated Yellow Dextrin
3. Maize/Corn Starch
Native Maize Starch A-grade of high purity & high quality from proven technology. The product is
very consistent in quality. Maize Starch exhibits all the properties of native starch with some
special features such as non-foaming & non-thinning characteristics of boiling solution
Applications
– Textiles (Sizing and Dyeing)
– Paper and Paper cone industries
– Modified Starch industries
– Starch Derivatives industries
– Detergent Soaps
– Corn Flour
– Aluminium and Cast iron Foundries
4. Thin Boiling Starch | SPAC SPRAY
Thin Boiling Starch is used for textile sizing application. Thin boiling starch has low and uniform
viscosity, which does not change much with temperature unlike native starches which show wide
variation in viscosity. Thin boiling starches are manufactured by acid addition to native starch
slurry.
Applications
– Sizing efficiency is increased.
– It gives low viscosity and tend to give better film properties. The yarn gets sufficient tenstile strength.
– Homogeneous along with other chemicals makes the fiber abrasion and droppings free.
5. Carboxymethyl Starch
Carboxymethyl starch (CMS) is an important modified starch with unique properties due to the
presence of negatively charged functional group (CH2COO-). Carboxy Methyl starch has a wide
range of applications in industries, mostly used for purposes of thickening, stabilization, water
preserving. It is also used in textile industry as thickening agent in textile printing paste and as
sizing agent especially for hydrophilic yarn.
Applications
– Ceramic Tiles
– Detergent Soaps
– Welding Rod
– Corrugation Gum Industries
6. White Dextrins Spactrin
Dextrins are prepared by heat treatment in presence of chemicals to suitably modify
characteristics and properties of starch. Finished dextrin are very fine powder varying in color
from off white to cream. White dextrin is manufactured by partially hydrolyzing starch, using of a
catalyst. The dextrinization chemically reduces the starch molecules into smaller components.
Applications
– A Crispness enhancer for food processing, in food batters, coatings and glazes.
– A Textile finishing and coating agents to increase weight and stiffness of textile fabrics.
– A Thickening and binding agents in pharmaceuticals and paper coatings.
– As pyrotechnic binder and fuel, they are added to fireworks and sparklers, allowing them to solidify as pellets
or "stars"
7. Borated Yellow Dextrins Spactrin
Dextrins are prepared by heat treatment in presence of chemicals to suitably modify
characteristics and properties of starch. Finished dextrin are very fine powder varying in color
from pure white to dark brown.Yellow Borated Dextrin is mainly used for paper cone
manufacturing.
Applications
– Used in manufacturing paper cones.
