Description

Starchmaize(Corn) CAS NO 9005-25-9 is a high-purity polysaccharide carbohydrate derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. This versatile biopolymer is essential for its unique functional properties, including thickening, gelling, binding, and film-forming capabilities. It serves as a critical raw material across diverse industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, paper manufacturing, textiles, adhesives, and biodegradable packaging, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount for production efficiency.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: As a thickener, stabilizer, gelling agent, and texturizer in sauces, soups, confectionery, baked goods, and dairy products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a binder, disintegrant, and filler in tablet formulations, and as a dusting powder in surgical gloves.
• Paper & Corrugating: Acts as a key adhesive in the production of paper, corrugated board, and as a surface sizing agent to improve strength and printability.
• Textile Manufacturing: Employed in warp sizing to strengthen yarns and reduce breakage during weaving.
• Adhesives & Glues: A fundamental component in the formulation of natural-based adhesives for labels, envelopes, and cardboard.
• Biodegradable Polymers: Serves as a renewable raw material for producing compostable plastics and packaging films.
• Foundry & Molding: Used as a binder for sand cores and molds in metal casting.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an absorbent, texture modifier, and opacifying agent in powders, creams, and deodorants.

Quality Control

Our Starchmaize(Corn) is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of our global clientele. We offer various grades compliant with major pharmacopoeial standards (USP/NF, EP, JP) and food regulations (FCC). Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as identification, purity, moisture, pH, microbial limits, and heavy metal content, ensuring full traceability and regulatory compliance for your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the product must be protected from moisture and stored away from strong odors. Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to prevent caking and maintain product integrity.
