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.

Aluminum hydroxide
Aluminum Hydroxide, chemically known as Al(OH)₃, is a white, odorless, and odorless powder or gelatinous substance. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid and relieve indigestion and heartburn. Beyond healthcare, aluminum hydroxide is a crucial component in water purification, fire retardants, and as a precursor or filler in various industrial applications. It functions as a flame retardant by releasing water upon heating, thus cooling the material and diluting flammable gases. Due to its amphoteric nature, it can react both as an acid and base, enhancing its versatility. Aluminum hydroxide is often utilized in manufacturing aluminum salts and in producing aluminum oxide.
Calcined Kaolin
Calcined Kaolin is a fine, white to off-white powder produced by heating natural kaolin clay to high temperatures (typically between 600°C and 900°C) in a controlled process called calcination. This thermal treatment removes chemically bound water, changes the crystalline structure, and enhances the physical and chemical properties of kaolin. The resulting product exhibits increased brightness, hardness, and opacity, making it highly valuable as a functional additive and filler in numerous industrial applications. Calcined Kaolin is widely used in coatings, ceramics, plastics, rubber, paper, and paint industries to improve durability, brightness, and performance.
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.
Carbon Black
Carbon Black Concentrate Dispersions are homogeneous, ready-to-use formulations consisting of high-quality carbon black uniformly dispersed in a compatible liquid or solid carrier system. These products are engineered to deliver precise, repeatable carbon black loading levels at concentrations of 15%, 25%, 40%, and 50%, enabling manufacturers to achieve consistent jetness, tint strength, UV protection, electrical conductivity, and reinforcement across a wide range of industrial applications. Each variant is identified by a unique product code (169FF, 121FF, 13FF, 32PP) denoting the specific carbon black grade, with the percentage indicating the exact weight concentration of carbon black in the dispersion. These products eliminate the handling hazards, dust contamination, and dispersion inconsistencies associated with raw powdered carbon black, while significantly improving manufacturing efficiency, color matching, and end-product performance. They are designed to be "let down" (diluted) into a compatible base material at recommended ratios to achieve the target carbon black level for specific formulation requirements. These are industrial-grade products and are not intended for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic applications unless explicitly certified otherwise.
Filler WTD
Filler WTD is a versatile, finely processed powdered filler primarily used in a wide range of industrial applications including paints, coatings, plastics, adhesives, sealants, rubber compounds, and construction materials. It is engineered to improve product performance by enhancing mechanical properties, increasing volume, reducing cost, and improving processing characteristics. Filler WTD typically exhibits excellent dispersibility, consistent particle size distribution, and good compatibility with various resin systems and binders. Its primary role is to act as an inert extender or reinforcing agent, providing bulk and stability while maintaining or enhancing the physical and chemical properties of the final formulation.
Polymer Fiber
Polymer Fiber refers to a wide range of synthetic fibers made from polymer materials such as polypropylene, polyester, nylon, polyethylene, and acrylics. These fibers are engineered for high tensile strength, durability, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals and moisture.
