product details

Origin:

Maize Starch is a cereal starch, which has a low ash and protein content.

Maize Starch is a cereal starch, which has a low ash and protein content. It does not thin down during the process of sizing, whereas Tapioca Starch breaks down substantially on cooking. This results in an uneven pick up on the yarn. Unlike Tamarind Kernel Powder, which requires steeping and long cooking time, Maize Starch is transformed into a smooth paste within an hour or in even lesser time under pressure-cooking.

The uniform viscosity, from lot to lot, ensures uniform pick up and penetration into the interstices of yarn to ensure good weaving performance. As foaming is usually associated with high pH, it is not necessary to add any of the antifoaming agents while working with maize starch, as the pH of Maize Starch paste is always maintained in the neutral range. In addition to these advantages, the starch is easily removed during the normal process of desizing.

Size is added to yarn to improve the efficiency of the weaving performance and is removed in the first wet processing operation. Since adhesive is the major ingredient of the size mix from the viewpoint of both quantity and price, its choice depends on

how economically it is priced

whether, it offers all the necessary advantages during sizing and can also be easily removed in the usual process of desizing.Of all the starches available commercially, Maize Starch best fulfils the above requirements. It possesses properties superior to native starch as Tapioca and Tamarind Kernel Powder.

Back filling is the process of applying a mixture of starch or starches and filler such as chalk or clay to the back of fabrics, without obscuring the weave on the face of the fabrics. This type of finish increases the stiffness and the capacity of the fabric by filling the interstices of the weave with starch mixture. Fabrics thus prepared are used in window shades and in binding for books. A typical formula for back filling :

Maize Starch 115 lbs.

Talk 100 lbs.

Tallow 45 lbs.

Water 100 gallons

Maize Products also manufactures starches suitable for pharmaceutical uses. Such as binder or disintegrating agent in tablets under the trade name 'Maize Starch IP/BP/USP', which fulfils all specifications as per pharmacopoeia.

Starch is used in the textile finishing operation to change stiffness, feel or handle of the fabrics, to modify the appearance by filling the interstices of the weave and to add weight. Since the finish provided by starch is temporary, its use is generally confined to relatively inexpensive fabrics or to materials such as shade cloth or book binding cloth that are not washed. Fabrics finished with starch alone are quite stiff and the finishing solutions usually contain a relatively large amount of film modifying materials. Starch is also used in conjunction with thermoplastic or the thermosetting resins to obtain permanent finish. The composition of solutions used to modify the hand of fabrics varies considerably with fabric construction and fabric properties desired. A typical formula for light weight goods

Maize Starch 10 lbs.

Softener 20 lbs.

Water 50 gallons

For heavier fabrics or stiffer finishes, the amount of starch is increased.

Starch plays a leading role in determining the texture of many foods, which is vital to both the consumer and the food manufacturer, as a major factor that governs the acceptability and palatability of most food products. Maize Starch, because of its abundance and low cost, is used wherever its properties are applicable. Maize Starch takes a relatively short time to form a viscous and opaque paste, which has a typical cereal flavour and is widely used for thickening sauces, gravies, puddings and pie fillings. Cornstarch finds numerous uses in the baking industry. Addition of starch makes hard wheat flour preferred for cakes.

Cornstarch is used to give proper strength to ice cream cones and sugar water shells. In addition to the above mentioned uses, it finds numerous uses in "dusting" to facilitate certain baking operations. Starch is also used as an inert ingredient in Baking Powder and also in salad dressing.

The addition of starch to the wet end of the paper is generally referred to as beater sizing. Here, the primary function of starch is to increase paper strength, to lay surface fuzz and to increase stiffness and rattle of the paper. Practical experience has shown that adding 1% to 2% starch, on the dry weight of the fibre, is quite sufficient to achieve the desired result. Size press application of starch in the paper industry is often referred to as tub sizing or surface sizing. The purpose of size press application is to improve appearance and erasability, inhibit ink penetration and form hard firm surface for writing or printing and to prepare the sheet for subsequent coating. The size press is chiefly used to improve the writing and printing characteristics of sheets such as bond, ledger, tablet, envelope, chart and business grade. The second important use for surface sizing of paper products is for calender stack and here its main purpose is to enhance surface characteristics such as scuff resistance and printability. Native starches are generally used at concentrations ranging from 2% to 5%.

Cornstarch is used as an adhesive in pigment coating for paper and paperboard. The most commonly used pigments are clay, calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide. The primary purpose of coating is to enhance the printability and appearance of the paper.

In short starch is used by the textile industry in a number of different ways:

As an adhesive in the size mix to strengthen warp yarn and improves its resistance to abrasion during weaving.

In finishing, to change the hand and appearance after it is bleached, dyed and printed.

In printing, to increase the consistency of the printing paste.

As a compound in finishes to glaze and polish sewing thread.
