Application
Potato starch is a white powder, a biopolymer obtained from potato tubers. It has significantly better and unique characteristics compared to its analogues (corn, tapioca, rice, pea, etc.) It is a versatile and high-quality carbohydrate obtained from potatoes through a thorough and environmentally friendly process. It is a fine, white, odourless and tasteless powder with exceptional binding, thickening and gelling properties. Renowned for its purity, consistency and functionality, potato starch is widely used in a variety of industries. It has excellent thickening and binding properties, helps to improve the texture and moisture content of foods, and is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. The quality of VIMAL potato starch meets all the requirements of international standards, is competitive and in many parameters even better than its EU counterparts. We have international ISO: 9001 and HACCP certifications, and have successfully passed HALAL and Kosher certification.
Thanks to advanced technologies, unique equipment and strict quality control, VIMAL starch and its characteristics correspond to the highest quality - EXTRA grade and can be used even in the pharmaceutical industry.

Better as offer...
- Experience and legacy: We are the first and largest potato starch producer in Ukraine with experience since 1992 having production quality as a philosophy.
- Viscosity to maximum: Thanks to unique laboratory equipment from Germany, we can control such an extremely important indicator as viscosity. By purchasing our product with an average viscosity of 1400 BU, you will use half as much as a competitive product with a viscosity of 700 BU.
- Purity and quality: Our potato starch is produced from premium potatoes, which ensures high purity and exceptional quality, without any additives or impurities. This makes it an ideal choice for industries requiring first-class ingredients, including pharmaceuticals and baby food.
- Thickening and stabilizing properties: VIMAL starch has excellent thickening and stabilizing properties, making it a valuable ingredient for a variety of products such as adhesives, coatings and tackifiers.
- Adhesive strength: Its strong adhesive properties make it an indispensable component in the production of paper, corrugated board and other paper products, enhancing their structural integrity and performance.
- Film-forming properties: Our starch creates strong and flexible films when used in film-forming processes, such as in the production of biodegradable plastics and coatings.
- Gelling agent: Thanks to its gelling ability, potato starch from VIMAL is an important ingredient in the production of gel-like products, including desserts, fruit fillings and jellies.
- Texture improvement:The addition of VIMAL potato starch to food, pharmaceuticals and personal care products improves their texture and flavour, increasing the overall appeal of the product.

VIMAL produces TOP-quality product, as the quality of starch is of great importance for us and a our key philosophy and passion. For example, the whiteness of potato starch is important when it is used in the textile, paper and printing industries. The viscosity of starch paste (a mixture of starch and water) is of great importance for many industries, especially the food industry, when you may use a half less VIMAL starch with high viscosity comperable to another ones. A feature of potato starch that distinguishes it from many other starches (corn, wheat) is the high natural viscosity of starch slurry.
VIMAL ensures fast and high-quality processing of raw materials using the latest technologies to achieve the best product quality results.

Storage
VIMAL potato starch has a shelf life of 60 month from the date it was produced. It should be kept in a cool, dry indoor environment, in secure and tightly sealed packaging. Ensure it is safeguarded from any pollutants. It should not be stored or transported alongside substances that are toxic or have a strong odor.
Packinig
Native potato starch VIMAL is packed into 25 kg bags or 0,5 kg packets for retail chains. We are thoroughly look after our goods packing process thus, we have spent verity of experiments and made many tests under more than one hundred bag samples till we got the best variant. As a result, now we are packing our starch into paper bags which are made under unique technology, it allows the goods to "breathe" during the transportation but at the same time it protects the starch from the external environment. As an evidence you can freely throw our bag from an altitude of the human height without any risk of breach.
But even these are not all of our packing benefits. Small 0,5 kg packets can bear the weight which is 200 times bigger than their own one and by the way it is the weight of an adult man under 100kg.
