VIMAL corn dextrin is a heat-treated starch obtained as a result of the partial decomposition of corn starch. It belongs to the group of polysaccharides and has properties similar to soluble starch and is a type of modified starch with the identification number E-1400. Dextrin is one of the few adhesives approved for use in the food industry, it is one of the cheapest and non-toxic adhesives! It is a product produced by chemical or enzymatic methods.
Application
Dextrin will help you solve your technical challenges in textile, footwear and printing industries for the preparation of adhesives - for example, as an adhesive for stamps and envelopes, in the manufacture of food containers and adhesive paper tape, in the packaging of money in banking institutions, and in the manufacture of paper and cardboard containers (toilet paper tubes, protective corners, boxes), in the match industry, as well as for labelling glass containers and gluing packages. Dextrin is capable of thickening textile paints, making it indispensable in the light industry.
