Contact SupplierDextrines are produced by roasting starch powder under more or less acidic conditions causing hydrolysis and re-branching of the starch molecule. These type of dextrines are also called pyrodextrins. White and yellow dextrines are partially or fully water-soluble low viscous powders that are optically active.
White Dextrines are used as:
Applications
Adhesive Industry
The adhesive industry uses large amounts of white dextrines in the preparation of liquid and dry adhesives. Dextrines go into solution instantly and with a lesser quantity of water. Because of their greater adhesive strength and fluidity, dextrines are widely used in the manufacture of :-
Chemical & Dyes industry
The advantages of Dextrines in the dyestuff industry are so well recognized that good many large-scale manufacturers have taken to using highly soluble dextrine as diluent to standardize the dyes with respect to the range of colors. Dextrine’s wash out quickly and easily and do not react with chemicals used in the process.
Foundries
Yellow Dextrins serves as an excellent binding agent for sand cores in foundry operations. It gives high green bond strength necessary for the mould to remain intact during handling.
Textile industry
As Dextrines do not easily react with chemicals, they are specifically suitable for applications in the textile field. In textile printing, they are used as thickness. Free of grit and other impurities, which usually accompany lower grades of starch, they ensure that the copper rolls (used in printing) do not suffer from abrasion. In sizing, they are used with starch for increased adhesiveness. In finishing, they give desired ‘feel’ and handle to the fabrics.
Colour Industry
Dextrins are largely used in dry distemper. Two to three percent of dextrins , mixed with chalk and pigment, acts as a carrier and imparts good adhesion of the colour to the wall.
