In today’s trend toward green and safe manufacturing, cassava starch is emerging as an ideal substitute for many industrial adhesive products. With its natural binding ability, abundant supply, and reasonable cost, cassava starch not only meets domestic needs but also holds great potential for export.
Cassava starch is extracted from cassava roots (also known as manioc or tapioca) through a process of cleaning, grinding, filtering, and drying. This starch is rich in carbohydrates, has fine white granules, dissolves easily in hot water, and develops high adhesive properties when gelatinized.
Key characteristics of cassava starch:
- High viscosity, excellent surface bonding
- Environmentally friendly and biodegradable
- Free from harmful chemicals, safe for users
