Dextrins, depending on the starch, including potato dextrin, are divided into potato and corn dextrins, and, depending on the type of catalyst, into acidic and alum.
By color, dextrins are divided into the following groups:
- white dextrins
- pale dextrins
- yellow dextrins
Potato dextrin and its properties
Three grades of dextrins are distinguished depending on the physical and chemical parameters (for each color separately)
- higher dextrin
- first dextrin
- second dextrin
Where is potato dextrin used?
Dextrin is used for the preparation of adhesives in the textile, printing, footwear, and match industries – for example, for gluing bags, for gluing labels on glass containers, making adhesive paper tape, in the manufacture of containers for food products, as an adhesive for stamps and envelopes. High-quality raw materials contribute to the optimization of production.
Potato dextrin is used in foundry production – for bonding molding quartz sand ;
In the production of glass fibers – for grinding filaments immediately after their formation;
In light industry, dextrin is also used – to increase the density of textile dyes ;
In the food industry, potato dextrin is used as carriers for the active ingredients of food powders and colorants.
Dextrin packaging
Dextrins are packed in double bags . The outer bag is fabric, linen juto kenaf or flax juto lavsan. Inner bag: fabric, flax-jute-kenaf, flax-jute-lavsan, multilayer paper (at least three layers of NM brand) or film insert bag. Net weight of dextrin is not more than 40 kg.
Transport and storage of dextrin
Dextrins are transported by all modes of transport in covered vehicles. Dextrins should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas, free from foreign smell and not infested with pests of grain stocks. Bags with dextrin should be stacked on racks in stacks no more than 2 m high. A passage of at least 0.7 m should be left between the stacks and the wall, the distance from heat sources, pipes should be no less than 1 m. Relative air humidity no more than 75%.
The guaranteed shelf life of dextrin is 1 year from the date of manufacture.
