White Dextrin | Application
Dextrins have essential characteristics in coating, binding and adhesive
applications for better tack. Their low viscosities allow their use at high
concentrations, which result the films with faster tack. Because of this
property Dextrins are used in seam gums for envelopes, bottle labeling
adhesives, Remoistening gummed tape, postage stamps, card board boxes etc.
Dextrins form a film and act as sheath for fiber. Thus protecting it from
abrasion. White Dextrins are used in Textile finishing in order to impart
stiffness to certain types of interlining fabrics. The soft pulp paste of
Dextrin acts as the best thickening agent for every type of textile, paper
printing, and certain plastic printing using all types of colors and dyestuffs.
The gritless and non-abrasive print paste ensures long life of printing copper
rolls which cannot be achieved by using gum and other adhesives.
