- Maize Native Starch
The product is very consistent in quality. Maize native starch possesses special features such as non-foaming & non-thinning characteristics in boiling solutions. Hence maize starch has a marginal effect on the efficiency in the weaving and paper industry, where high viscosity starch is used, it imparts higher tensile strength to the fiber and thus improves the sizing.
