Product Description
Native corn starch is a pure white starch produced by the wet grinding of corn. Due to its adhesive properties, native corn starch is the basis for glue, is used 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 goes on smoothly and does not smear on the product). Native corn starch is used in the coating and sizing process. This starch is used in the production of building materials and various household products.
