White Dextrin – SPAC TRIN-WD

SPAC TRIN-WD White Dextrin is manufactured by partially hydrolyzing starch which is used as a catalyst. The dextrinization chemically reduces the starch molecules into smaller components. White dextrin is white in color with reduced viscosity. It is also used as an additive in certain applications in manufacturing Textiles, Adhesives, Dyes, food processing, and paper coating.

Dextrin is prepared by treatment in the presence of chemicals to suitably modify the characteristics and properties of starch. Finished dextrin is a very fine powder varying in color from pure white to dark brown.
