Description

Amylopectin CAS NO 9037-22-3 is a highly branched polysaccharide polymer of glucose and a major component of starch. Its unique, tree-like molecular structure provides exceptional functionality as a thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent. This makes it a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors seeking to improve texture, consistency, and performance in their products.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer in sauces, gravies, soups, and dairy products. Its high viscosity and resistance to retrogradation prevent syneresis and maintain product quality.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in tablet formulations as a binder and disintegrant. It is also utilized in controlled-release drug delivery systems due to its biodegradable and biocompatible properties.
• Paper & Adhesives: Acts as a binder and surface sizing agent in paper manufacturing to improve strength and printability. It is a key component in biodegradable adhesives and glues.
• Textile Industry: Employed in warp sizing to protect yarns during weaving, providing a smooth, strong coating that is easily removed afterward.
• Biodegradable Plastics & Packaging: A renewable raw material for producing bio-based polymers and films, contributing to sustainable packaging solutions.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a film-forming agent and texture enhancer in lotions, creams, and hair care products.

Quality Control

Our Amylopectin is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. We offer grades suitable for food (FCC), pharmaceutical (USP/EP), and technical applications. Each batch is analyzed for key parameters including purity, viscosity, moisture content, and microbiological limits. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
