Corn Starch Industrial Grade
Original price was: $ 1.67.$ 1.55Current price is: $ 1.55.
Corn Starch Industrial Grade is a finely milled, white powder derived from the endosperm of maize (Zea mays). Unlike food-grade starch, industrial grade is tailored for non-food applications where its thickening, adhesive, and film-forming properties are exploited. It consists primarily of amylose and amylopectin polysaccharides and is valued for its biodegradability, renewability, and cost-effectiveness. Industrial corn starch is used extensively as a raw material or functional additive across a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including paper, textiles, adhesives, and packaging industries.

Binder
A binder is a broad category of substances—organic or inorganic—used to hold different materials together in a cohesive mass. Common binders include natural polymers (starch, cellulose derivatives, proteins), synthetic resins (PVA, acrylics, phenolics), and inorganic binders (clays, cement, lime). They are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, and printing, where they provide structural integrity, adhesion, and controlled release properties.
Calcium Carbonate Filler
Calcium Carbonate Filler is a high-quality, uncoated ground calcium carbonate (GCC) specially engineered for use as a filler in polyethylene (PE) and other polyolefin resins. This grade of calcium carbonate is designed to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of plastics while providing cost-effective bulk and improved processing. It is a fine, white, odorless powder with excellent brightness, high purity, and uniform particle size distribution. Its use improves stiffness, impact resistance, dimensional stability, and surface finish in polyethylene applications such as films, sheets, pipes, and molded parts.
Calcium Carbonate Light
Calcium Carbonate Light is a finely ground, low bulk density natural mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Compared to standard grades, it has a lower density and larger particle size distribution, making it suitable for applications where light weight and high brightness are important. This form is extensively used as a filler and extender in industries such as plastics, paints, rubber, paper, adhesives, and construction materials to improve opacity, brightness, and texture, while maintaining low weight and cost efficiency. Its chemical inertness and whiteness provide functional and aesthetic advantages across formulations.
Calcium Sulphate
Calcium Sulphate is an inorganic compound composed of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen, commonly found in two forms: dihydrate (gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O) and anhydrous (CaSO4). It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder or granules with low solubility in water. Calcium Sulphate is widely used in construction, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food industry, and various industrial applications. It acts as a filler, hardening agent, and drying agent due to its physical and chemical properties. The dihydrate form (gypsum) is notable for use in plaster and cement, while the anhydrous form is often used as a drying agent and in refractory materials.
Coated Calcium Carbonate
Coated Calcium Carbonate is a fine, white, odorless powder consisting of naturally occurring ground calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) treated with a surface coating—typically stearic acid or other fatty acids—to enhance compatibility with non-polar matrices. This coating improves dispersion in plastic and rubber formulations, reduces moisture pickup, and enhances the physical properties of the final product. Compared to uncoated grades, coated calcium carbonate offers better hydrophobicity, improved flow properties, and stronger interfacial bonding in polymeric systems. It is widely used in plastics, rubber, paints, sealants, adhesives, paper, and more.
Corn Starch Food Grade
Corn Starch Food Grade is a fine, white, powdery carbohydrate extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels (Zea mays). It is a natural, tasteless, and odorless polysaccharide composed primarily of amylose and amylopectin. Corn starch is widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and binding agent in food products due to its excellent gelatinization properties. It serves as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in many culinary and industrial applications. Corn starch is valued for its versatility, digestibility, and neutral flavor profile, making it a staple ingredient in both home cooking and commercial food production.
Talcum Powder (Talc)
Talcum Powder is a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of hydrated magnesium silicate. It is known for its softness, absorbency, and lubricating properties. Talc is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, industrial, and consumer products due to its ability to absorb moisture, improve texture, and provide a smooth, silky feel. The powder form allows easy dispersion and application across diverse sectors.
Whiting
Whiting is a finely ground, white, chalky substance primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It is widely used as a pigment, filler, and extender in various industrial and commercial applications. Whiting provides opacity, brightness, and smoothness to products, enhancing their appearance and physical properties. Its natural abundance and versatility make it an economical additive in multiple manufacturing processes.
