Dextrins are polysaccharides formed by heating dry or acid-modified starches in a process called pyrolysis. They can be used at higher solids levels than native or modified starches, creating stronger bonds, more tack and faster-drying properties than pastes made from unmodified starch. Dextrin pastes provide excellent machinability and also can be used in adhesives and coatings that come into contact with food products.

Use for:

• Adhesives/coatings that contact food
• Remoistenable wallpaper, stamps and envelopes
• Child-safe school paste
• Bag/envelope seams
• Paper/textile sizing
• Lamination
• Binding bar soaps
• Process machine runnability
• Manufacturing efficiencies
