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.

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 Carbonate Uncoated
Calcium Carbonate Uncoated is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed primarily of calcium, carbon, and oxygen with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It appears as a fine white powder or granules, widely used as a filler, pigment, and functional additive across various industries. The uncoated form means the calcium carbonate particles are not surface-treated, retaining their natural properties. It is valued for its high brightness, whiteness, and excellent compressibility. Uncoated calcium carbonate is used to enhance opacity, improve processing, and reduce costs in plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials.
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.
Master Fibre
 Master Fibre is a high-quality synthetic fiber additive designed to reinforce concrete and mortar mixtures. It improves structural integrity by enhancing tensile strength, reducing cracking, and increasing durability. The fibers disperse uniformly within the mix, providing better load distribution and impact resistance in industrial, commercial, and residential construction applications.
